Happy Tuesday, What's on your menu, everyone?
Oh no, sorry about the fall. Were you alone? Did you have to call the ambulance? I can't imagine when something like this happens and you are alone.
Not comparing, but when DS was an infant and in my arms, I fell down the stairs. I tried to protect him so kinda twisted my whole body around him while falling. I can't imagine what I would have done if DH wasn't home. Nothing major happened but I was at the bottom of stairs flat on my back with DS still in my arms asleep but I was bruised everywhere with a twisted ankle.

Oh no, that sounds like a terrible fall! I hope you're okay. And I hope you keep your phone with you around the house just in case. Did you have to go to urgent care? Sounds significant if you took off work for it. I'm sorry.

Falls are horrible. I had a few and it took a while to heal the bruises. I hate to admit, but occasionally I use a little NSAID Voltaren like cream (mixed with herbal- natural stuff). I put it in a roll on and apply to the area I need to. The roll on is better because my hand doesn't have to touch it, so there is no absorption through the hands.
I had a really bad fall last year and it took me months to dissolve ad drain the hematoma. As you know - initial cold - ice compress but after a while - a heat really should help with healing.
When I injure my shoulder - using a K-tape really helps. It helps during the end of recovery when the joint is almost healed, but I still get pain when I overextend it.

hi all late one for me, meetings all day. new project at work and it will suck up 2-3 months which is not cool.
QOTD: i bite my lip when I'm thinking, and I also get random bug bites/boo boos which take months to heal because guess what? I scratch them! I also stress out from things I cannot control.
