PSA--Being careful isn't for sissies

[Siwsan]

1. I took a fall, last year. Hit the step to the deck with my hip and the edge of the deck with my arm

just above the elbow. And I fell hard after catching the side of my foot on a paver stone.

The result was, well, I guess I conducted my own bone density test because all I got was a couple of bruises. I was shocked, too, because of the way and how hard I fell. I really expected I had seriously damaged something.

I've never had a major bone break, and I'm a life long klutz so I've taken a lot of falls, but rarely one that hard. That fall scared me so I am being SO much more cautious, now.

On a side note, I have broken each and every toe, at least once, from bashing the in to some unmovable object.
