Just that really. I feel like a complete idiot.
I was in a busy parking lot and had to cross a high traffic area. Two commercial vans stopped for me, which was nice. So I set out, rushing a bit not to hold them up. There was a speed bump across the path I had to walk. I tripped on the edge of the speed bump and fell. I completely face planted.
My newish eyeglasses are broken and beyond repair. I have a large bruise under my eye. I went down hard on one knee which today has a huge swollen lumpy bruise. Both wrists hurt. My left breast is very sore and a bit swollen. I had to pick bits of gravel out of my left palm.
I made quite a scene. I think I upset a man who started pulling on my arm to help me up. I wanted to get up myself and he was hurting my arm.
Thankfully nothing is broken. I have a whole new appreciation of the dangers of falling. From now on I will wave a driver through rather than rush across.
What a klutz.
Be careful out there!
Thanks for listening.
