I am just so frustrated with myself. I had that long lasting super bad ear infection. 3 trips to the Dr's with 3 different treatments. It is finally better not %100 but way better. I was back in the pool and doing so well ( it is hard to get back into it )
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL This weekend we were hit with a ton of bad weather ( Ontario Canada). We had snow then freezing rain and then snow again. Kids had a snow day yesterday. Sunday as I was heading out to take my daughter to soccer practice I slipped and fell off the front steps. As I lay there in total pain trying to assess my injuries I thought (c**p). I realized I had not broken anything but my left arm , left butt cheek and my back were very sore. My left arm is very swollen and bruised and sore, my back and hip are bruised ( not broken as I can move everything and it is healing) I am limping with my leg and back. SO no swimming AGAIN. I am thankful it was not worse as we leave for the Dominican Republic on the 17th and I am not in a cast. BUT GEESH.
I find this so frustrating. Just one of lifes little blunders. Just when you get into a fitness regime you like and can see results with WHAM.
Yes I am having a bit of a pity party. SIGH. Darn snow.

sounds like you need to leave Canadia behind and come south! way south!
these things happen to all of us - I of all people know this. don't let it get you down! sometimes when it rains it pours, but you know what they say about april showers... you'll be back and better than ever in no time!
Sorry to hear you slipped on ice but it happens down here too. Slipped on ice last February. For weeks it looked like I had a half of a softball stuffed in my back pocket. My bicep is still sore (Bicep tendon tear). I had to go to a Massage Therapist to get the pains (and softball) worked out.
My sincerest sympathies Katie. Now you just go and enjoy your holiday with no feelings of guilt and when you come back, in the New Year, and after the all the festivities have died down, continue where you left off.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL . Sunday ... I slipped and fell off the front steps. As I lay there in total pain trying to assess my injuries I thought (c**p). I realized I had not broken anything but my left arm , left butt cheek and my back were very sore. My left arm is very swollen and bruised and sore, my back and hip are bruised ( not broken as I can move everything and it is healing) I am limping with my leg and back. SO no swimming AGAIN.

That's the spirit. Look at the positive side.
With nothing broken, you can still get in the water and move easily.

Take care Katie and have a great vacation.
Hi Katie,
Did you go to the Dr and have him/her check it out just to make sure? If not, ... thwack!!! That's my hand on the back of your head! If you have insurance, double thwack!! Sounds like PT might help.
Hope you get better soon. This getting old bit is for the birds.

Sorry to hear of your latest ouchies!
If there are ongoing ice-snow problems, to avoid further slippage:
Microspikes
Stabilicers
And have fun on the vacation!
Regards, VB
