Ok, so now that I'm doing a bit better, I thought I'd share this. It is kind of funny, in a twisted sort of way. So our family had gone up to the high school to ride skateboards and wheeled devices for family night. I have been learning to ride Tyler's Ripstick. It is a skateboard with only two wheels and it sort of swivels. So I'm getting pretty good at it. I had been riding it for about 30 minutes and I was done so I was riding to where the rest of the family was and was just coming to a stop. I don't know what happened but obviously, my dismount was sloppy. The board went flying out from under me. It felt like there was an invisible person there and they ripped it away from me....anyway, I landed on my left side. Elbow/arm and hip. Everyone came running. All I could say (and in a whisper) was "Don't touch me." I hurt something fierce. I didn't want to admit it but I felt like I broke my arm, tore something in my shoulder and fractured my hip. My elbow was bleeding and I developed quite a bruise on my hip. Now two weeks later, my pelvis still hurts. Friday night I wasn't sure I was going to make it thru the night without going to ER. I had done 80 minutes of yoga earlier in the day and think I over did it. I am still wondering if I have a hairline fracture in my pelvis...not that anything could be done to fix it but at least I'd know if I should take it easy. Old Age stinks!!!
