So I had a little accident today. There were a bunch of fallen branches on the sidewalk, and I thought I'd walked around them, but I think what happened was that one of the dog leashes got caught on one of the branches and I fell. Hard. There is a gigantic lump on my left elbow -- my "good" arm -- and I did something bad to my shoulder/chest area, jammed or sprained something, and it really hurts. I don't think anything is broken, but I am most uncomfortable. I have an ice pack on my elbow, and I will take an extra aspirin tonight. I hope it works that I'm better in the morning and not that I'm stiffer and can't get up out of my chair!

You need to see a Dr if you hit your chest and it's painful. You could have broken a rib or clavicle or you can get fluid build-up around your heart. I speak from experience. If it still hurts bad in the morning, please have it looked at. Hugs and good thoughts!

Thanks for the sympathy and for the good advice, Johanne. It was definitely on my mind yesterday that I could have broken something. Just in the past few weeks, a friend of mine fell while running and ultimately discovered she had 3 cracked ribs. But I didn't really think anything was broken or that it was serious enough to go to the ER last night, and I knew my handyman was coming this morning, so I figured he could take me to the ER if I needed to go. But I do feel better this morning. I iced every spot that hurt all last night -- getting a new ice pack every time I woke up. This morning the egg on my elbow is smaller, and everything hurts a bit less than yesterday, so I think I'm going to be ok -- just uncomfortable for a few days. Thanks again.
