I've been worried about falling off and on for a while. I had a stupid fall in Nov '08 due to steroid myopathy. Now I think I have some nerve issues (or not, I don't know).
I rushed outside to retrieve my 4yo boy who has been hell bent on getting outside clad only in his spiderman briefs. He ran away from me (fortunately, he ran to the backyard where his 5yo sister was). I knew I couldn't catch up to them so I walked back to the front door to get my 15yo to get them and I tripped. Nothing like a sobbing mom to get a 15yo boy to spring to action. He gets them and entertains them for a while.

I find that I have skinned my right knee and scraped my left forearm. I think my forearm would have been much worse, but I was wearing a wrist brace. Later, I find an small, but painful abrasion on my right elbow. Now I'm feeling my neck and back seize up, so I'm not feeling well. Gee, now my right wrist hurts.

So I'm sharing this with all of you for sympathy but also to ask how you deal with these types of mishaps.
