Ouches

Yesterday, while leaving the doctor's office. I feel on ice. There is a narrow sidewalk covered by snow and ice so I was walking on the road. A car was coming towards me so I steps onto the sidewalk. I took a couple steps, slipped and tried to brace myself on the short wall beside me. I scraped and bruised the side of my hand on said wall, slipped further and hit my hip on the wall. After I hit my hip I banged my knee on the sidewalk. I was pretty shaken up. This old man came up to me and was asking where he was allowed to park. It was a confusing exchange even for someone who was not wiping the mud off their bloodied hand. He saw me fall and then walked over to me. I thought he was going to ask me if I was alright.

Now there is a dark purple bruise on my hip. I do not bruise easily so for there to be any sort of mark tells you how much it hurts. I was throbbing in pain this afternoon and had to take some pain killers. They did not help much.
