So this morning I was ready for a work a bit early and decided to help Denis by taking Cooper for his morning walk. He finished his business and I turned around to head for home. I got one house away and suddenly tripped. The sidewalk had become uneven and my toe caught and I went flying. I managed to keep a grip on Cooper’s leash but took a header, landing half in the neighbor’s driveway and half in his lawn.
Fortunately it was 7:15 a.m. in the morning so no one was out and about to witness my complete lack of grace as I limped the remaining 50 feet to my house.
So I’m at my desk now, and my knee is a bit swollen and stiff, and my muscles are a bit sore from trying to keep from falling. And in my embarrassment I forgot to put my makeup bag in my purse, so today I’ll be sans makeup at work. Fortunately no clients are coming in, so it won’t be too bad.
OUCH! You poor thing. :11doh: I hope you had a happy Mothers Day!
Bummer! :thud:
*doh!
That is terrible. Keep it iced and I hope you feel better. You know, this happened to my Grandmother a few (10) yrs back and the she complained to the city and to make a long story short, they settled out of court I beleive.
Aw, poor thing! Ace had good advice ~ put some ice on your wounds. I did that once when we first got Harry ~ took a header onto the sidewalk scrapping my knees and hands and letting go of the leash. All I could manage to say was a very weak, “Harry, come back,” and he did! Fortunately, it was dark so no one saw my graceful fall.
