My fellow seniors, this past Monday I fell. I was lucky though. [View all]

I tripped on the sidewalk and fell across the narrow sidewalk onto the grass. Main injury was my left hand – – which is the hand I use – – was badly bruised. I thought maybe it was fractured but later on in the week I went to the doctor and she said it wasn’t. It is getting a lot better.

It wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t been hurrying to catch the mail carrier before he left. Note to self: don’t get in a hurry like that. It wouldn’t have mattered at all whether I’d caught him before he left or not. I would’ve ultimately gotten the mail anyway.

Just wanted to post this as a warning to others and myself not to get in a hurry when you don’t need to.
