The Unthinkable Happened 

Never have I ever broken a bone, until last week. I went to the freezer to fetch some frozen chips, tripped on a step because I didn’t lift my bad leg high enough, and landed on my good leg. Since I was carrying a pre-prepared ice pack, I didn’t put my hands out to break the fall. I tried doing some yoga moves to get up off the kitchen tiles. Table position usually works, but not this time. Both my legs were too sore. Eventually, with my family’s help, I somehow got off the ground. I’m so glad it wasn’t captured on video!
