Gravity, 2; Me, 0.

If you are keeping track, last week I twisted my left ankle and fell in the stairs. I ended up with a few bruises on my legs but I was okay otherwise. Today, I twisted my right ankle walking home from the grocery store. I was wearing a knee length skirt and I managed to fall in gravel and dirt and scraped my whole left knee and upper tibia. Just lovely! It's a pain because it burns. It reminds me when I scraped both my knees when I had to do hurdle race in high school. (Not my idea of a good time, let me tell you!) Because of course we had to do that on gravel too.

Stairs: The Silent Killer

I was walking back to my office from a therapy session in another part of the hospital, and was a bit distracted. I took a lovely plunge in the staircase. Thank God I was on the level between two flights so I didn't fall down. I scuffed my hands and knees (and pants!), but mostly, I twisted my left ankle. I hope I haven't pulled anything because it does hurt a bit. I guess I'll see soon enough if it swells up. I also dropped my digital recorder and Palm Pilot. What better event for electronic equipment than hitting a cement floor? LOL
