Oh, there is nothing worse than hitting your head. Glad things turned out okay. Poor thing!

My last fall was going out to get the paper in the dark in my robe and wearing my husband's shoes. I thought the paperboy had left the neighborhood and just when I bent down to get the paper, his car came around the corner. I didn't want him to see me in my robe and turned to run back into the garage. My body turned...... but my husband's shoes didn't.......I fell face first on the driveway. The paperboy didn't see me because he turned and went up the next block. I ended up with a messed up finger and sore arm and a lesson learned, don't wear size 12 shoes and try to run.

I have to laugh about your post, because I am relating about sneaking out early to get stuff in weird apparel. Sorry your finger and arm were both hurt.

I had similar (adoptive) parents, so do understand the pain. They'd of pretended they saw nothing, even if they'd been right there, or taunted me.

I fell over last week, outside the vets. Went flying backwards, holding Caleb in a basket. Caleb was having a check up and the pup was having her first injections. Poor Caleb was shaken up, but unhurt, he seemed shaken till the next day.
I hurt for days, hips, right let, right arm and back. Still sore but fine.

Pup Pippi was in the her carrier still, in the car. Hubby had been getting the carrier out, letting me know poor pup had pooped everywhere. Stood beside the car in pain and shaking, cleaning up pup and blankets She hated being in the carrier in the car. She likes the carrier when it's at home.

That is amazing you were able to hold onto Caleb during your fall. Glad things turned out okay.
