FUNNY BONE..PAINFUL BUT A GOOD LAUGH!!

Today I learned a very valuable lesson that I thought all could benefit from hearing and hopefully not repeating my mistake.

I was in the church kitchen preparing a snack for our worship team. The coffee was on, the fruit was cut and the muffins were ready to go.

I was chatting with a couple from our church. We were all just laughing and having fun….. And then it happened…. Mom had what my kids would refer to as a “brain fart”.

I learned that wet ceramic floors, high heels, and fast movements - Are Not A Good Combination.

One moment I was chasing someone in effort to “give them the boot” and the next moment I was flat on my back. It happened so FAST!!! I hit the floor HARD and my elbow came down with a THUD. Everyone was holding their breath………. waiting……..then I began to laugh, deep belly laughter. The entire thing struck me sooooo funny!

I was in pain and needed help getting up. I managed to drape my coat over my ice packed arm and keep it hidden as I chatted with people in the lobby and throughout the service.

I finally told Kev what I’d done and let him have a peek. My elbow is nasty looking; extremely swollen, black and blue…. not pretty! Tomorrow I will see the doctor (at Kevin’s insistence). He is concerned that I may have chipped the bone.

Anyhow, I am a little sore and stiff…but it was funny. I will skip my treadmill routine tonight and not feel the least bit guilty!

I’ve added a new thing to my reformation list…no running, chasing, or kicking on wet ceramic tile floors while wearing high heel shoes. I would encourage you all to join me in this reformation idea!!
