Took my first tumble of the Winter season, today.
Although I won't horrify anyone by posting a photo, I'm probably going to have a significant bruise on my bum. I encountered an unexpected, snow covered and very slick patch of ice while clearing the driveway and fell HARD. Fortunately, I didn't twist any major limbs and avoided cracking my skull on the concrete. For that I am thankful. I never even let go of the snow blower. Apparently I'm still a pretty sturdy old dame.
I finished the job, despite the nerve pain being really bad. Apparently my ass isn't sufficiently padded to cushion the sciatic nerve. Who knew??? It feels much better now but I anticipate being very sore, later. Might be a good idea to take a hot soak in an Epsom Salts bath.
Ok, I'm done whining. And, BTW, 𝙄 𝙃𝘼𝙏𝙀 𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't think it would be a good idea to drive. 
I thought I had stopped the bleeding before I left the house. I was wrong. By the time I started the walk home, blood was streaming down the side of my head. I don't think the wound was that big (I was bonked by a corner of the control)but head wounds do bleed a lot. Once it stopped bleeding, I pretty much forgot about it.
The only bones I've ever broken are toes, and that's because I'm a klutz who likes to walk around barefoot.
I'm still in pain and can't type much.
That's why I haven't been around much.
Rest as much as you can!
Its difficult but that is when you heal, when you are asleep and resting.
If you aren't a lot better soon go see a doctor!
Take care!!
Enjoy your soak and take it easy for the next few days.
