<p>Awe crap.  At least I diverted attention from Mr. Obama for a bit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Aire jr and gf of Aire jr visiting.  We take them to the Smithsonian, Ford's Theater, Hard Rock and decide to walk to the WH.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had a brief glimpse of the first fam & dog.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the way back to the car, beautiful day, fresh venti vanilla non fat iced latte in hand, waiting to cross the street-- I step forward and my foot catches on something and I catch myself just in time for my other ankle to twist and send me face first into the cross walk.  My kneecap is bruised, red, swollen and has a huge patch of road rash.  Iced coffee all over my white sweater and jacket.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My ego?  I lost that a long time ago.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I feel bad that I didn't pick up my latte cup that went into traffic.  But when Mr Aire picked me up, I went lightheaded from the pain shooting up my leg.  Wow.  I have never felt that after a fall.  It was epic.  Probably on youtube.  At least I wasn't texting!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everything hurts--ribs, elbows, joints.  urk.  Falling down is a kid's game, now, methinks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I realize I am officially a pu$$y.</p>

<p>You weren't clear on this... did you actually bang your head on the pavement? If so, get yourself checked out. We know you're nuts to begin with (part of the reason we love you), but you shouldn't chance it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Besides, then we can wait for "they x-rayed my head and found nothing."  <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130313677360215"><img alt="biggrin.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130313677360214" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>    </p>

<p>No, fortunately my hands, wrists and elbows took the weight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can't even fall gracefully.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At least I'm short so the fall wasn't <em>that</em> far.<br>

<p>Just keep an eye on it, though (but you knew that). <br>

<p>falling sucks.  at least you had mr. aire there for assistance.    i'm closing in on the day when i actually yell out "i can't get the eff up" </p>
<p> </p>
<p>i fell up the cement steps at a track meet once in front of a crowded high school stadium,  both hands were in my pockets to keep from freezing.  i don't know how i kept my front teeth but truly made up for the break in action on the sprinting track.  what a dork. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>sorry you're hurting  but be glad the head wasn't involved..but maybe still get some sort of check up if the rib pain keeps up.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Look at it this way: you didn't REALLY fall, The Earth collided with you and bounced off</p>

 

[runfishhunt]

<p>Feel better Aire....  falling is teh suck.</p>

 

[jrjo]

I had a 12-yr streak of no winter falls but took an icy digger a couple months back off the front steps, was sore for quite a few days.<br>
Epic, I'm sure!

Sorry you fell aire.  You know what they say...tis better to fall and be picked up, than to be left there to rot in the gutter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(I've actually never heard anyone say that, but I'm trying to start a "thing")</p>
