Bruised and battered
This morning I was in a rush. Rushed out of bed, Auntie H round the supermarket, rushed back to the car so I could get home and catch the beautiful sun to take a walk again. But I tripped as I was rushing back to the car, falling heavily with my glasses being knocked off my face. In my concern for my glasses and catching them, I fell awkwardly half on one side and half on the other and then the intense pain started. I burst into tears lying on the pavement then sitting up. It took me a while to get the equilibrium back to get up and drive us home again. pao was lopsided and the rule is that if he is remotely lopsided then I drive. It hurt like crazy and I cried all the way home.
Thankfully some ibuprofen and some sleep have helped a bit. I have a huge bump on my knee and a sore arm. Luckily, I was wearing leggings when I fell or my scrape would have been much worse. I think the worst part was the shock of the fall. I’m so cross with myself for not looking where I was going as I didn’t get that walk I wanted 
I won’t show you a photo of my injuries – I just feel sorry for myself.
Tamyra has been keeping me company on the sofa (mainly down to the treats that Chris and Jeanne sent) but I am glad that she was around and glad for pao’s tea-making and food-delivery skills.

Oh no! Time for some sitting around with your feet up. I’m glad pao is unlopsided enough for tea and food delivery or the two of you might be in rough shape.

Oh no sending very gentle hugs x

Oh you poor thing, I know exactly what you mean, it is the shock of the fall. Grown ups don;t fall over as much as children do and they are closer to the ground. I am so glad you are feeling better and have Pao and kitten company to cuddle you.

Mrs. Pao- Oh dear, you poor girl. This was a bad week for injuries.
Look after yourself.

Ouch!! Glad you didn’t break anything at least and that you have pao to deliver tea and food.

Oh MrsPao how horrible for you! I’m so sorry. Falling over is such a shock to the system and you got hurt too

I hope you are feeling much better now! Lucy xx

Oh yikes! When you are in a hurry it is always the last thing on your mind that being so can actually hinder your progress. I’m so sorry you fell and got knocked around. If you have some arnica cream or lotion make liberal use of it and take care of yourself!

Oh no! I’m so sorry, are you healed up a bit? That must have shaken you up.
