Kaboom.

For two weeks in a row, I trudged through the snow to go to my weekly beauty shop appointment (yeah, I know--but Sam does try so hard!) and on the third week, I decided I
couldn't go through it again, so called and cancelled.
Yesterday, was the best day of several days, so I had optimistic hopes and when I arrived
at the beauty shop, was happy to see the sidewalk was cleaned off--except for about a 2-inch
wide skiff of frozen snow!
I thought that would be easy to negotiate with my cane--but I was wrong. I fell KABOOM! trying to step
over that little bit of snow. There's nothing more interesting than when an arthritic body
hits the ground--hard. I have to say, though, that Scott Wooley's glasses are tough. My face ended up in the snow and I heard a crunch, and was so afraid I had broken my glasses, but when we got the
snow cleaned off of them--they were fine.
As the evening wore on and new day passed, I have sore spots where I didn't even know I had spots.
The real miracle is that I was not seriously hurt--except for my ego--when Jim had to come and get me (with Sam's help) up off of the concrete.
All I can say is that my guardian angel must be one tough broad as she tried to cushion this body of mine. Jim has been trying to get me to go with a walker--and that time may have come!
I'm so thankful there were no broken bones!
