Good gravy girl! I'm making an "ouch face". Sending healing wishes.
I used to work in a physical therapy office with patients and my boss taught me something about falls.
Women fall and break their wrists catching themselves. Men fall and don't reach out and they break their shoulders. Saw it over and over.
This week I woke up and was not "brain" awake when I got to the stairs. I missed the first one and fall all the way down to the landing. My family ran to my aide and my husband was in shock. I looked at him and stood up and said I'm so glad I am not really awake. Then I told him I didn't even reach out with my hands to catch myself. ( wipes brow ) My behind hit the steps really hard. But at this age I had enough to cushion me. Hee Hee
I didn't hurt anything. But I'm quite sure if I had reached out I would of done something to a wrist. Wonder why women are hardwired to catch themselves like that? Perhaps it's due to having children under our feet or a bun in the oven.
