A couple years ago I wrote a blog called “I No Longer Bounce.” At that time I’d tried flying six feet across my entry in the middle of the night. While that was spectacular, I really had no desire to repeat the feat.

Today at the end of the day, the kids were in the gym for an assembly. When the first three rows were dismissed, I thought I’d go up the bleacher steps. I should have given that a second thought. I missed the first step and landed on my knees. (Those same knees that were injured in an auto accident 13 years ago come Mother’s Day week-end). I thought I’d black out from the pain and ended up just sitting on the bottom step. One of the seventh graders helped me up.

My homework for the week-end will be to fill out an employee accident form. Yippee. I don’t know what to ice first…my knees or my hips.  I’d hop in the hot tub, but I don’t have one. I’d even consider swimming it off in the pool, but I don’t have one of those either. The bathtub is out as ever since the first accident I cannot get out of the tub ( I’ve been relegated to showers).

Took two aspirins, not moving much. Debating what to ice. Will find dinner in a bit and a glass of wine. I see an early bed tonight as I have a meeting in the morning.  If I didn’t bounce two years ago, what made me think I would now?
