I had 'a fall' early this morning. Early as in 4am when I let my dog out for a pee. He did a number 2. As I put my walking stick on the path outside my flat, to bend down to pick it up, the wearing a bit thin rubber ferrule slipped from under me on the wet,tree sap covered path. It was one of those moments I haven't experienced since cycling 'off' days. I fell on my left shoulder, with luckily my right arm pointing upwards, stopping my head from hitting the floor. My first thoughts were not another broken hip or another dislocated shoulder, but as I got up I felt ok apart from being quite shaken. I went to bed then when I woke up about an hour ago after a restless night I felt the pain. Most of which is in my right knee. I've just taken 2 paracetamols, so let's see if they work. I'm just glad nothing broke and that it was at 4am when no one saw the embarrassing incident. Though at that time, if it'd been worse I could've been led there for an hour or so.
