Accident prone

Well it's been almost 2 months since I slipped on the ice and very ungracefully fell down the stairs at my apartment. I have still been having some lingering hip pain from that fall. Today I went to get the mail and then I was going to get in my moms van to take my niece to the doctor.

Side note: She was very sick Fri night. Fever of 103, lethargic, a wee bit delirious, achy and sore throat. We took her to the ER Sat evening and they said she had Step throat and started her on an antibiotic. Sun evening she broke out in a rash so my mom called the ER and they said to stop the antibiotic and to send her to her regular doctor on Monday.

So I'm walking from the front of the apartment to the side driveway to get into the van when I slipped on a patch of ice and went down. Not only did I go down I slid underneath the damn van. I finally extricate myself from under the van, get up and manage to crawl into the drivers side of the van when I am greeted with peals of laughter from my niece. I looked at her and said "Calley, it's not funny I could have been seriously hurt". Her reply "Auntie it looked funny. One moment you were standing there and the next you weren't!" I am so glad that I was able to provide some entertainment to her today.

Another Side note: Her regular doc said not to worry about the rash. She said that Calla not only had Strep but a virus that some kids get at the same time as strep and is diagnosed by the rash. She started back on the antibiotics and can return to school tomorrow much to her chagrin. I told her karma will always win and that's what happens when you laugh at auntie falling on her bahookie, hehe.

So once again I hurt my hip on the left side and also my ankle. There is a weird painful bump on the outer part of my knee which feels like bone that shouldn't be there. I know that I will be more sore tomorrow which I learned on my previous excursion on the ice. I'm just wondering what mishap will befall me in another two months...
