A Lucky Fall .....

 Now how can a fall be lucky you say?

Well, the other day I was trying (operative word) to clean up my back yard which I hadn't been able to get to for some months due to a problem with my back door.  Anyway, I was shovelling muck and mess and was doing okay; at least I thought I was.

I had just filled the shovel and was 'throwing' the contents when one leg went one way and I went the other.  My left foot was on a piece of plastic and as I changed my centre of gravity, the plastic slid taking my foot with it but as my centre of gravity was on the other foot the rest of me went the opposite direction.

I tried desperately to save myself and managed to use the shovel in some weird way that would do a Shaolin monk proud.  The outcome was I ended up in a crumpled heap with a few scratches which was fine; the downside was that within half an hour I was so sore I could barely move.

My back feels like one of those petite Japanese masseuse are walking on it - but with 6" stiletto heels; one leg has decided it is time to go on strike and the other has gone out in sympathy.

The arm I broke a few years back took some of the brunt and now feels like it belongs to someone else. 

It is almost two days since it happened and I know you have to get worse before you get better but really?  I would just like to get dressed without feeling like I am a 120 year old lady .... rotfl.... ever tried to do up a bra when your arms and hands don't really want to go behind your back?  Oh, and said back would much rather spend a week or so hanging out in bed!

I had planned to get some serious artwork done this weekend but instead have resorted to hobbling between the computer and the sofa; even carrying a full cup of tea or coffee is an achievement.......sadly the worst thing is there is barely anything to show - a few scratches here and there, and a small cut on one of my toes - so even though I feel like I have been hit by a Mack truck I can't even get the sympathy vote by showing my 'battle scars'!
