Suddenly


Here's my healthy snack today, crunchy sugar snap peas with a roasted red pepper dip.

Focussing on some vegetables at the grocery store the other day, I didn't notice a wet spot on the floor.  Next thing, I  was doing a baseball slide onto the floor, landing on my back.  A grocery clerk and a lady beside me rushed to my assistance but I was able to get up on my own.  My thumb became a bit bruised later that day and my bottom was a bit sore.  Fortunately, I was able to go about my regular activities.  I remember feeling a bit shaken up for a few hours after the accident, maybe I was still also in shock.  It's important to pay attention to where you are stepping especially as you get older. Otherwise you could suddenly slip and fall.  My friend S said I should've filed a formal complaint, I didn't even think to ask them to clean up the spill.  Yet another friend said her cousin fell and broke a leg in her grocery store a few years ago.

In other news, I was able to successfully log into my Instagram account first thing Monday morning so I was happy about that.

wow, that was a bad fall, the floors are hard in the stores,, probably concrete, you are lucky you were just shaken and bruised, the dip and peas looks really good, its a snack I like too but have not tried roasted red pepper dip,, yum!

I'm glad that you weren't seriously hurt, but past experience has taught me that you may have a delayed reaction to the jolt. If your insurance or finances allow it you might visit with a chiropractor to see if anything's out of sorts. If so, you could present the proof to the grocery store and have them cover the cost of the doctor visits to get back to normal.

I'm sorry to hear that, Christine! I can imagine how scary that was. Falls can be very dangerous. I'm so glad you're okay.

My aunt slipped and fell and broke her molars and jaw. She filed a complaint at the store and they paid for her dental bills.

Oh I'm glad you're doing okay! The snack looks very yummy.

Ouch!! Glad you are ok, but probably should have made an accident report. I slipped on the sidewalk several years ago at church, and hit my tailbone...had to sit on a "donut" for a few weeks. My dearest and I really try to be careful these days as we are older now.

Wanda said...

PS That a really nice healthy snack! I would like that.

Christine said...

Thanks Kathy.

After all my time in a grocery store, I never saw anyone fall. But you never know

Love the look of your snack ...

So sorry to read about your slip/fall, that could have been nasty. I think if that happens in a store here you often get asked to fill in an accident report form. I do agree we have to be so careful when we are out - especially the older we get.

So pleased you were able to get Instagram sorted.

All the best Jan

Good deal about logging on.
Sorry to read about your fall.
Glad you were able to carry on with your day.
How are you feeling now? Any soreness?

Christine said...

well my thumb's still slightly sore, but functioning thanks! It's been a week.

wow, glad you didn't break anything. I kind of admire the fact that your first thought wasn't to sue. Seems like it's the thing to do these days. Hope you have a great Easter Christine.
