Well, That Hurts ...

Source
Whilst out and about¹ to inspect the driveway I was told that one part was okay, the rest was like an ice rink.

Me, Mr. Vermonter and supposedly knowing better, decided to check the slippery bit. Long story short, body went one way, lower left leg went t'other.

While hitting the ground, no damage there, I fall gracefully, I felt a stretch in the inner ligament running beside my left knee. Stretched the hell out of it. Hurt like hell, felt nauseous for a moment.

Couldn't get up, it was that slippery. Had Tuttle drag me to the walkable part of the drive where I was able to regain my feet. Decided that "fun time outside" was now officially over and I withdrew to the house to ice that knee.

Yes, it hurts sometimes to get old.

Hurts worse when you realize that your motor skills ain't what they used to be.

I'll be offline for a few days.

The Muse saw me fall and said, "Eff that, I'm outta here."

Stay frosty my friends.

  1. Yep, ice and old age not a happy encounter. I carry sand and throw wherever I suspect ice as I do my chores.

Just be polite... that's all I ask. (For Buck)
Can't be nice, go somewhere else...
