Day 3,906 —Falling—

I was feeling pretty good about myself. I had run to UPS and returned an item that didn’t fit, and I had gone to the grocery store and purchased some bananas and plant-based bacon, but then I tumbled. I thought at first I was going to be able to recover, but then I was hurling towards the broken concrete with gravel rock.

I hit my right hand first, my right elbow, my right knee, and last my left hand. I don’t know this for sure, but I am guessing based on the aftermath of the fall.

I lay there on the ground, stunned for five seconds. I wondered if anyone saw it.

My right hand had gotten the worst of it. I saw some of my skin holding on. I didn’t know anything else had cut deep enough to draw blood until I got home.

I took a shower and realized I had 4 spots that were bleeding. My two hands, my right elbow, and my right knee. I thought this was preferable to only landing on my two hands.

I applied iodine, then neosporin, and lastly, bandaged my hands. It wasn’t ideal, but this kind of thing happens.
