Only me...........

I think that lately I have been an accident looking for a place to happen! A few weeks ago, when we had our 8" snow, I was trying to shut the hatch back on my van. Now, that should be a easy job, but my driveway is on a slope. So, I would get my footing, then reach up to shut the hatch back, and I would lose my footing and almost fall. After catching myself several times, I finally planted my feet on the ground beside my driveway, twisted and stretched and finally got the darn thing closed. I'm sure that my neighbors got quite a laugh! I was proud of myself though for getting it done, well, proud until I started to walk into the house. I had pulled my shoulder muscle and my back muscle. I also twisted my ankle! This was on a Friday afternoon! I went to my massage therapist and then to the Chiropractor the following Monday and they helped me out quite a bit... when I announced that I wouldn't work out my chiropractor, who happens to be a sports med chiropractor, told me that I needed to work out my arms because it would be better for them. So, I worked out my arms, thought I would die cause IT HURT! But, he was right, later in the day, I felt much better! That part of me is pretty much healed now.
Today, I hurt the pointer finger. Don't know how. The knuckle is bruised and swollen. BTW.... you don't realize just how much you use that finger until you can't. (I have it wrapped to my middle finger to keep it still). (also, I didn't realize that while typing, I use my left hand more that the right!) - See, I have learned something that I didn't know!
