Fall down, go boom!
I am in pain. Well, less pain than yesterday, but still...pain.
We were at one of our favourite places to dock this weekend--
But, Allison, you say, if you were docking somewhere, shouldn't you have Back of the Boat pictures to share with us? To that I reply: Sure. If I hadn't left the stupid camera at home both weekends, I would indeed have BotB pictures to share. But not only am I in pain, I am also forgetful.
--and I made one of my usual trips to the privy on the shore. The rain had come overnight and everything was slightly damp and slick--including the wooden platform said privy resided upon. Which meant that when my foot encountered the wet, fungus-green surface of the wood, it failed to find any traction whatsoever. Down I went, with the resounding thud of a totally unexpected fall. I didn't even have time to scream.
No bruises to speak of, but my entire body hurts with a dull ache. My shoulder hurts from the shock of trying to catch myself, my leg hurts from the slip and I feel vaguely lopsided. Thank heaven for extra-strength Motrin and vodka (as prescribed by Helene).
Oh, and ow.

I believe you'll find that chocolate also helps.
Ahh, ibuprofen and vodka, the tried-and-tested folk remedy of WDers everywhere.
Feel better soon!
We're sorry!
*many (very gentle) Bears hugs*
And what Annika said--take caaaandy!
OK Bye
Calliope and All the Bears
Owie! In addition to the Motrin, vodka and chocolate, I recommend a hot bath with Epsom salts.
Feel better! *gentle hug*
Argh! Heal up soon.
Ouch! I hope you're less achey soon [hugs]
See, if you'd had more vodka in your system when you fell... you probably wouldn't have tensed up as much, leaving you less sore.
So, the moral is... try to be drunk as much as possible. ;]
(Oh, and I hope you feel less lopsided very soon.)
