Tonight I fell down again. Let me explain.
About a year & a half ago, I fell down & broke my arm. I may have talked about it on this blog. I am too lazy to go look & see. It was no big deal, people break bones all the time, it could have been worse.
Tonight, I returned from the store - where I had to walk through puddles in the parking lot because it's been fucking raining all day - & I slipped on the door frame of the door which leads from the garage to the house, & I landed on my knee. It was startling, but I managed to keep the few groceries (some pouches of cat food & two potatoes) in my hands. It didn't hurt much.
Later, I had a big bump on the left side of my left knee. It was amazing!
Like a bump in a cartoon, it just rose up & didn't hurt & I didn't even notice it till I sat down.
So yeah I put ice on it, it stopped swelling, it also hurt more once I noticed it, which is the way the world works. But it doesn't hurt now. It's kind of a novelty.
People in Texas don't know what to do when weather other than "sunny & hot" happens. I mock them all the time. Now I'm one of them. What, when you walk on wetness your shoes get slippery & wet? I don't believe you!
One thing is I wish I had taken a picture when it was big & swollen. My wife was grossed out by it, but I was fascinated that your skin can do such a thing. But I didn't. I didn't think about it. I missed out.
