falling

10-13-2011

It finally happened. 

I had the fall of all falls over the baby gate blocking the kitchen.

{Collin said he knew it was coming someday... I just wish it hadn't been me.}

I can't even describe it adequately.

My foot caught on the gate.

My inner thigh hit the outside of the gate.

I knew I was going to go down.

And down I went.

It was so painful.

I cried like a baby.

The pain, the shock, the fall itself.

Collin carried me to the couch right after.

{I know he's a sweetie.}

I was limping all night. The next day. Today.

But I didn't really know how badly I hurt myself until I saw this.

On top of this injured foot. 

I have a lump on my shin.

I have a bruise on my knee.

And a bruise on my inner thigh.

I must say:

lesson learned. 

I will be lifting my leg ALL the way over before stepping to the other side.
