We have been drinking smoothies for lunch at the office to help with calorie intake and weight loss goals. My boss brought in a dorm refrigerator to put in the bathroom ... and put the ice machine that he bought me last year for my birthday on top of the refrigerator.
Well, Tuesday late afternoon I decided to have my smoothie--wasn't hungry at lunch time-- so went into the bathroom to retrieve the fat free yogurt and strawberries. Well the refrigerator door gets hung up on the shelves inside so it needs an extra nudge to close. Well, my hands were full, so I stuck my foot in the bathroom door to nudge the fridge door shut, and the bathroom door came back and 'grabbed' my leg/foot...and DOWN I went. I mean to tell you I hit my head HARD on the floor. My boss was out but Roger (another advisor in the office) was in and he came running around the corner and asked if I was OK. At that point I thought my head was going to burst with the pain...plus the wind had been knocked out of me. I just laid there and rubbed and rubbed and rubbed my head where it had banged on the HARD floor. I had scraped my arms, hurt my butt and really whacked my head. I finally got up and made it back to my chair. I made it to the end of the day...but really hurt. My back started to ache as well.
I woke up at 4:30am on Wednesday and could hardly move! My neck felt like I would assume it would feel if you had whiplash. I pretty much hurt all over. I didn't make it to work on time..but finally straggled in. I started popping the advil every 3 hours. When I got to the office, I told Roger and Craig (boss) that it felt like I had done 500 hundred pushups, gotten whiplash, been hit over the head with a frying pan and been kicked in the tushy!! Other than that I felt pretty good. HA HA
I kept popping pills and did leave early Wednesday. My mom was afraid that I would feel worse the next day, but actually on Thursday I felt a bit better. Still sore, but not nearly like I was on Wednesday.
Funny--when I told Russ what I'd done..his first comments was "Were you wearing slacks?" What a hoot... I said "Yes, dear, I was not wearing a skirt that flew up over my head."
Well, that should about get me caught up for this week. I may post more this weekend. I'd like to post some of the flower pics I took a few weeks ago.

Dang woman, I was wondering what was going on with you. Your fall sounds horrible, and I can't believe you didn't get hurt worse than you did. Then to have to go to a funeral and all. I think this weekend you should do nothing but hang out with your boys.
Stay safe, and hope to see you in a week.
Oh my gosh, why didn't you go to the doctor?? (with your slacks on of course, ha) Between you and Toby (Tara's 2nd little one) - he put peas up his nose this past week and ended up in to see an ear/nose/throat specialist. Thank goodness, the ol' body works pretty good. . . the pea that they couldn't get out had already broken down and dissolved. NO MORE KICKIN' THE FRIG DOOR SHUT OR PUTTIN' PEAS IN THE NOSE!!! Use this weekend to tend your wounds. love ya, your cuz
OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWEEEE:( I'm glad you are feeling better now. (How big a bruise do you have on your you-know-what?!) :)
Oh, that is terrible! My goodness. I hope you're feeling better after the weekend.
OUCH! Judy - I hope your back to normal by now. That had to hurt.
