Self-destructive tendencies

I forgot to mention in my last post the day I tried really hard to do myself injury.

In the morning, I had gotten up and hadn’t yet put on my glasses. I had put my iPad onto what I thought was a flat surface. Obviously I was mistaken as down came the iPad and a couple other bits from the surface onto my right foot. The iPad escaped any harm. My foot was in quite a bit of pain initially and I was left with the mark where it landed along with a sort of scrape type injury. I think this is the same foot I once dropped a bowl with spaghetti on years and years ago. I’ve had osteoarthritis in that spot ever since.

In the evening I took the dogs out for a walk. Most of the walk is on a footpath next to the main road and all was going fine. The dogs were being reasonably good. The last part of the walk, I planned to take a shortcut on a sandy/dirt pathway from the road into our neighborhood. I took the first step down a slight gravel path and my left leg went flying straight out while I landed on my right hand and shoulder. Fortunately the dogs stayed right there even though I’m sure I let go of their leashes briefly. Once the initial shock wore off, I carefully got up to see if I was okay to continue. Fortunately I escaped with a bit of a scrape on the hand and a slight graze to the arm and was able to get home from there. The next day I had quite a bit of pain on the shoulder and took a tablet I had from the bruising I’d had from another fall. After that it improved each day and it’s all fine now.

I haven’t had a stab at anything else since then but I suppose one day I might try again. :D
