So I live in the cold frozen north, I'm no stranger to ice. It was above freezing when I left home. Got to work=, pulled in a parking space and stepped out of my car, and the next thing I saw was the undercarriage of the truck next to me. Yep, I hit ice and went down like a rock. I had to lay there for a few minutes and because I am one of the last to go in NO ONE went by. My purse was under that truck and I had to squirm to get it. I was wet, cold, and a tad disgruntled. I very carefully got up, got my stuff and got off the ice. I let my manager know, she was all for sending me home, but I'm a tough gal. Didn't get as much done today as I hoped to. Now I am somewhat stiff, not sure if that is the fall or the age. My plan is when I get tired of y'all I will go take a hot bath with oils and Epsom salts.

sorry about that fall. some ice is more slippery than others.I am kind of awkward and fall fairly often on dry ground but always seem to hit right because I have a second to see it coming. NSAIDS could be your friend or arnica cream or orally if you have ever tried that. GOod for bruises

those parking lots don't give much. go easy.

damn concrete was cold, wet, and hard!

i always try to remember to fall slowly.

@hankster I remember falling on ice once about 15 years ago, and I remember thinking I need to relax. This time I went down so fast I had no idea I was down until I saw the truck above me.

everybody's in such a hurry these days.

go easy tho really. might have to skip dancing lessons for a day or two.

Glad you're (relatively) ok - that could have been much worse!

Sticking it out at work was the thing to do , it helps with the soreness . The hot soak sounds like a good idea too . The morning will tell the tale , but don't give up the good fight , & take care of you !

Take care of yourself! Falls are serious at our age. Hope you are better after a good soak!

A broken bone could cause a blood clot, and if it dislodges... a stroke.

@bingst Yes, I'm well aware. I work in disability claims. I deal with that stuff all day, and IF I do end up sick and have to apply for disability my office will handle my claim. I don't want any of my coworkers poking around in my medical history. LOL. But thanks for your caring words.

@bingst he said solemnly

@btroje One of my great aunts wound up on life support from a massive stroke after breaking her hip.

@bingst not good sorry
