ouch!

I had the good graces to fall on my bike Friday. I have a badly bruised elbow and hip. The funny thing is the hip that was up during the fall actually hurts when I stand and try to walk. The bruised hip huts sitting and lying down but not standing. Go figure.

Will see my chiropractor later this week. He'll put me back together and tell me what an idiot I am... He's my b-i-l.

Take good care of yourself. Have some chocolate, and a nice hot bath.

When I wiped out on the ice and bruised my knee, arnica gel and icing it to take down the swelling helped a lot. Arnica made the bruise go away faster (I bruise easily, colorfully, and my bruises take awhile to go away, so I was very impressed with the arnica gel).
