Ice Ice (Ice) Baby

Yesterday, I wasn’t feeling too good. So I figured I’d go outside in the late afternoon and trim some grass around the front railing. The railing had other plans. It jumped out of no where and attacked me:


This is 6 hours after the attack,
after most of the swelling had gone down!

So, as I do every night, I laid in bed and iced my heel and my knee. Only this time, I added a third bag of ice to my forehead.



I’m such a dolt. Maybe I’ll have a sweet “racing stripe” for the duathlon this weekend. What a way to use (waste) my 200th post.

  1. Sad. Hope your forehead is feeling better! How in the world did that even happen?

    Also, I feel like an ice bath (if you could tolerate it might do you some good. =0)

  12. Amazing how often those railings come out of nowhere, you know? If a bag of ice does the trick, you should be fine for the weekend. And congratulations on 200 posts.
