My Everest…

So yesterday we had a last minute showing at our house as usual, I needed to vacate the premises and I didn’t have the car.  But me being me didn’t want to inconvenience anyone like my mom who was still recovering from a cold or my neighbor who have been great at taking me in at the last minute.  I decided that I was going to go for a walk. I have been avoiding doing this activity all winter because of the icy cold conditions.  But the day before some of that had melted and it wasn’t too bad.  There was a freezing rain warning in place but it was saying snow first so thats not bad, and the weather people these days were wrong because it was supposed to already be here and hadn’t even hinted at the beginnings of it so off I went for my 45 min walk.   Halfway into it the snow came down with a mix of frozen pellets. The sound of it hitting the ground was really cool and it made a crunch beneath my feet.   Took me back to when I was a kid walking to school in almost any kind of weather.  As I got closer to home and rounded a corner out of nowhere on a nice clean piece of sidewalk as my luck would have it I flopped down hard onto my right  side.  I was like well shit, this happened!  I sat up, took a minute to assess, slowly stood up and didn’t care that people saw and cars drove by.  Got up and carried on.   I texted my agent that I was on my way home and that if someone was still at home then  I would just hang out in the garage for a bit.  Thankfully they were leaving as I was coming so I got home and checked myself out again. 

My body initially felt not bad but like my body has delayed reactions i wait in anticipation.   As the evening came it felt like my whole body was vibrating.  My neck from the shoulder to the top of the head the nerves were forming a T from temple to temple across the front of my forehead and down into my neck. The right side of my neck where the shoulder started was painful every time I looked to the right.  My knee was all bruised up.  I knew sleeping was going to be a great time !   I was catnapping all night long reassessing positions.  I woke up and I had to drive hubby to work and my whole body was sore.  I put on the seat warmers on full and it helped a bit and now i need to see physio and confess to him my sins!  I already told my husband he was livid with me. I told you not to go ….yadadadadadaaa yadadadadaaaa   yadadadaaaaaa!!!!   I know it only because he doesn’t want me in more pain.  But shit happens!   I asked him to kiss my bruised knee last night ..it was a flat out NO  So there you go.   I did the mea copa at physio told him about my fall he checked things out and it could have been a lot worse than a bruised knee and elbow oh and that darn neck thingy.   A bit of massage, a bit of pulling and some tape and we feel better already.   Today was chiro and confessing my fall to him he was like ok.  Checked me out and did his stuff and in the middle of it all the loudest adjustment EVER crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!  I swear he has one of the most satisfying jobs around !  But I feel better too.   Still battered and bruised but I could have been a hell of a lot worse.  So I am happy with that!
