I have my fingers crossed for an early spring. I need to get rid of the skating rink that is surrounding the house.
I slipped and fell yesterday when I went to feed the chickens. Landed on one bucket -- water in my shoes, in my coat pockets, etc. I managed to crawl to the shed and get up.
Nothing seriously hurt. Mostly a feeling of whole body whiplash with a bruise where I hit the bucket and one where I hit the ground. Going to be some changes made before next winter to be sure!
@Smart Red, be careful. Do you have a snow boot with good traction? You may find more aches and bruises later on. Do you take your cell phone with you to call for help in case you need it?
Mary's advice is excellent make sure when outside you always have a charged cell phone on you. glad you wheren't hurt. last year I fell in parking lot lucky I landed on my butt, the lot was filled with people I was more embarrassed then hurt.
Yes, I always have carried my phone with me when I go out since DH isn't likely to remember where I am. This time I thought about getting the phone, then pooh poohed the idea. What could happen?
Next time the phone will be there. DS says I must wait for the grands to get home and help from now on. I'm good with that idea as well.
