I JUST FELL FLAT ON MY FACE
I mean that literally, I just fell on my face. We had an ice storm last night and I was just out walking my dog. She yanked on the leash, and I went down, hard and face first. As I was laying on the ice, waiting for my dog to notice that I was hurt, I had time to consider what it was that I had thought about first. When I was younger, the first thing I would have thought of is ” I hope no one saw me!” I’ve had mortifying experiences with falls before. Once my dress ended up over my head. Another time, I had one of my heels get stuck in a grate while trying to catch a train in Chicago. Have you ever tried to run when only one shoe has a 4 inch heel? Anyway, today my fall was more terrifying than any other fall I’ve ever had. As I was lying on the ice, assessing my injuries, I realized that the very first thing I had thought about today was…I hope I didn’t break my dentures!! How depressing!!
