Gravity

So today I had an unexpected appointment with the wall. Somehow my crutch was caught in the carpet, making me fall forward and to the side a bit. I would've hit the ground if the wall hadn't been there to smear my face across. I started putting weight on the bad leg during all this, which made me totally relax that leg and try to send all the weight to the good leg. Needless to say, pain became the word of the day, but it subsided after an hour with the help of some pain killers. I purposefully throttled down my meds intake specifically for a situation like this when I really needed them. Forward thinking FTW :)

Today for my internet class I had to give a 3 minute eulogy about myself to some of my cousins. Man did it feel awkward, but I'm glad it's over, only 6 speeches to go :-\

At least I didn't fall like this guy

Somehow I doubt you got up and walked away from your fall with such a spring in YOUR step. ;)

I think that having to give a eulogy of yourself is the worst possible speech assignment, and you did pretty well considering. It's really hard to brag properly when you've spent your whole life being trained not to. It's just so ... tasteless.

I really hope that the fall didn't damage anything. We want you better.
