Re weekend, Saturday bro and I brought mom home. Needless to say, she's very happy to be home and will continue to get PT there to further regain some of her strength after her 2 recent falls/broken bones. The rest of the weekend was devoted to de-Christmasing the house. We still have a pretty long way to go, lol.
Oh, this was fun. Saturday late afternoon and into the night, we had a light but persistent drizzle that lasted into the early morning yesterday. And then the temps fell to single digits. Consequently, there was a light coat of ice over every surface outside. I went out to get the paper from my driveway yesterday morning and proceeded to slip and fall down the last 2-3 steps of my front porch. Banged my right elbow on the 2nd step, my ribs on the left side on the first step, and then slammed my head on the concrete walkway at the bottom of the stairs. I hit my head so hard it flung my glasses off and they landed a couple feet behind me. I laid there dazed for a moment then slowly got up. Had a dull headache and an

bump on the back of my head. An Ibuprofen (Motrin) helped with the headache, but it's back this morning, along with a sore ribcage and a sore neck. I must have tensed up my neck muscles as I was falling because the tendons in the front of my neck are all sore. Basically whiplash.

Took another Ibuprofen this morning and will probably need one tonight.
