Useful tip.

Any day can be made more exciting by the simple expedient of falling down and scraping both knees.

Second time I've fallen in a week, damn it, although at least the first time I was wearing jeans and didn't hurt myself.

The last time I did this particular move, I was walking along an uneven sidewalk and was trying to clip my pager to the neckline of my dress. I caught the toe of my Teva on a block and had about three feet to collaps into before I ran into wooden steps leading up.

Damage: two skinned knees with broken skin, etc., one bruised heel of hand (right) and one unhappy bursa (left elbow). Two hours later, I didn't have enough arm mobility to drive.

So, total sympathies to you.

Might I suggest a coating of aloe on the raw places? It sure helped me.

Ow, ow, ow!

Poor you.
