Anyway, story time!
Yesterday after leaving the doctor's office I ran home to grab some food before leaving for work. I grabbed a piece of bread with some peanut butter on it, a banana, and a bag of grapes, (threw those in my purse for an afternoon snack.) I had parked my car in the driveway instead of pulling into the garage since I'd only be home for a minute, (stupid decision.) The driveway hadn't been shoveled yet so there was a good two inches of snow covering it. I figured I'd be safe because it was snow, not ice. Big mistake! Just as I was getting to my car, my legs whipped out from under me and I fell flat on my butt. My banana slid out of my hand and got buried into the snow, but I somehow managed to save my bread! I called my doctor just to make sure baby would be ok, (and she will be.) But okay now here is where the story gets funny: I was really wet from the snow, but I figured it was only snow so I'd be fine going to work how I was. I was about ten minutes from work when I realized it was not only snow, but my weak pregnancy bladder had caused some. . .uh. . .yeah you know! (Stupid bladder!) I turned around, drove the twenty minutes back to my house to change, and then, forever later, finally made it to work.
The lesson I learned from that experience: Always keep a change of clothes in my car and don't assume snow isn't slippery.
Because of the fall yesterday, I'm aching today. Sore hips, sore bottom, and I just feel achy and sore everywhere. I can't wait to get home and just relax and take it easy for the rest of the night, (thank goodness I don't work tonight!)
I would SERIOUSLY advise you, if you don't already, to go see a chiropractor after that kind of fall! You probably don't have any major injury or anything like that, but learning what I've learned in the last year about chiropractics, you probably jammed some vertebrae. It may not cause you trouble immediately, but it could/probably will later on down the road! Monte has really educated me!!! He was telling me how just puking or coughing can cause a misalignment in your back!!!
