Phooey! I hate being injured 
it's inconvienent. Today I was dumping the spent mushroom compost and washing the bins we use. The garden hose tangled around my right boot as I turned to take the empty bin under the carport where I was cleaning them. Suffice to say, I didn't realize it was wrapped around my foot until I tried to walk at speed. Wrap, trip, splat 
I remember as a kid bounding back from so many splats, but I think even as a kid I'd probably be in the same position. I tried to catch myself, but the hose tangled tighter. I landed on my right knee and hands, then gave up to gravity and rolled to the ground the rest of the way as I was on gravel.
Not fun
I managed to gimp to the back door and did something I practically never do: called to Eldon for help. I could barely talk as I explained, but it came out as tripped, splat, hurt. The hardest part was waiting to have him pull off my boots as I'd no idea how badly I'd injured my right knee.
Thankfully it's just bruised with some scuffs to the knee and hands, nothing broken that I can tell. I've got arnica on and in, ignatia for the shock and am at the moment on the couch with my knee above my heart, wrapped in every single ice pack I own with a blanket over that to retain the cold.
Eldon will have to care for Blossom and Dundee for me today and suffice to say, I'm done with my bin washing for the day. I hate being injured. There's too much stuff I need to do. I'm a lousy patient

A shock to the Kidney energy too, especially if hose wrapped round your ankles. Can you put any heat on your ankle at all? 
Thank you one and all for the fantastic healing vibes and get well wishes! I'm a firm believer in DFs vibes and they seem to have done a great job 
I'm such a Do It By Myself gal, it's reassuring to me to know he can care for my ponies when things like this happen. LOL, mind you, he said Blossom was flat out mad at him because I did forget to tell him to give her hay for lunch. She was still grumping this morning, but breakfast made her happier.
