Today I learned to fly...

[TrickyBob]

I took our dog out to pee. Normally I stand on our back porch steps and let her run to the side of the house to pee, she needs a leash. 

Next to our stoop and steps I have a bag or so setting there for trash day and my Husband had set the table to a table saw there. 

She must have jerked or I don't even know, but I almost lost grip and before I knew it she had me off the steps. 

In my effort to NOT land on the trash, I sort of launched myself off the step once I realized I was going down. I couldn't fall forward or I'd hit my car, I couldn't just fall next to the stoop or else I'd land on the trash and hit the table to the table saw. 

So I hit the pavement in our drive way in front of the walk way to our sun room. I scraped up my left palm, hurt my left wrist, my left foot, my right knee/leg is all scraped open and I can feel my knee swelling and it burns. My right ring finger and middle finger are swollen and they burn like no tomorrow. 

I let go of her leash and tried to grab it with my left hand but couldn't make myself hold on tight enough so I tried with my right hand but that meant sitting up and I just could not get off my knee to do that. So I shortened her leash the best I could and laid there until I could get up. 

We're both back inside now, but omg. That sucked SO bad. I/she launched me pretty far because our stoop is not that close to the sun room walk way, they are a considerable distance. 

The poor dog has been washing my knee (through my pants) and snuggling me. I'm mad at her but melting at her attempt to make me feel better. 


ETA: I don't know my left from right apparently.

I feel pretty okay besides my hands/leg. My pants touching my leg are making it sting horribly though.

I'm just glad I didn't break anything. That would have sucked worse.

Thanks ladies!

Yikes! Can you get your rings off?

I just realized I put my right and left down wrong. 

It's my right ring finger and middle finger and right leg. Durr.

My left hand besides my palm being beaten up is okay. That ring finger is alright.

Oh no. You poor thing. Sweet that she tried to make you feel better though. Put your feet up and take a load off for the rest of the day and snuggle with the trouble maker.

She's snuggled up right next to me on the couch, every time I move she licks my hand and lays her head on top of my arm. 

It's hard to stay mad at her.
