Went to the hair salon yesterday for phase two of "get rid of the damned mullet." (Long story short--in December I decided I wanted my long hair cut shorter and layered and went to the wrong salon and wound up with a mullet. Two weeks later, I went to a salon closer to my home where I had been before and begged them to do what they could to fix it. It's a work in progress.)

So, go in, get the trim--which I have to say, my stylist will never pass through a metal detector, but she's fab. My hair already looks 100% better after only two visits. It'll probably take one or two more until it's fixed completely. As I was leaving, I was juggling my jacket and my purse and was not really watching where I was going. I stepped on one of those smock/cover thingies they put over you to keep most of the hair off and my foot went out from under me...and down I went...in a split. Like a cheerleader. And, honey, I'm no cheerleader--not even within 100 pounds--if you get my meaning. Landed on my right knee and really stretched my left inner thigh. Everyone in the shop ran over and were all "are you okay?" etc. as I lay there moaning. I just asked them to give me a couple of minutes...the pain was exquisite. So, after a few minutes, I rolled over and got up. They offered me my haircut for free, but this girl was not at fault (it was the girl next to her) so I declined the freebie. They took my name and number and told me to call if I have any problems later on.
I took some Advil and it helped some, but I got really stiff overnight. Right now, my left wrist, my right knee, my left inner thigh and both hips are hurting. Thankfully, hubby stayed home today to help me, because simply getting up and down from the sofa is torture.
What a clutz.

Poor Ray! Hope you're up and about again really soon. I've slipped and fallen down in in grocery stores before when someone's spilled something and it wasn't cleaned up. Not fun.

I heartily give you Kosmic Kudos for not going the "omgIfellsoIsueU!" route.

And I hope you feel better soon. Last time I did the splits I cracked my pelvis, so hey, could be worse. ;) *sends chicken sooop your way*

Hope you feel better real soon Sweetie!! Remember, boobooprophen is your friend. You can take 800mg at one time every 8 hours. And Advil makes a geltab now that is the Bomb. Dissolves faster and therefore works faster. You'll never go back to regular tabs again!

I do feel your pain. Last time I took a major header I ended up with a cracked tailbone. And I took a big slip coming out of Longhorns last week. I didn't go all the way down, but my lower back and knee took a good tweeking. I was pretty sore for a few days after.

Take it easy. :)

Thanks, everyone. Still sore today, but not as bad. Hubby was so sweet yesterday, he ran and fetched for me so I didn't have to get up and walk too much. It helped a lot and today I'm a bit better. Still owie when getting up and walking...my hip is killing me, but well enough that he went to work today.
I appreciate all the good wishes from everyone, it really helped.

Rushing in late here! I hope you're feeling better by now!

Ray, not your fault. You slipped on slippery cloth on slippery tile that SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE! This does not make you clutzy.

I hope you heal quickly. Keep moving, but don't push it too much. It might not be a bad idea to let your doctor check you out. It sounds like you hit pretty hard. :(

*hugs*
