Yikes I fell

Well actually I tripped on the charging cable for my laptop. Honestly it was only a matter of time. I tripped, tap danced trying to regain my balance, and then landed hard on my left knee. 
It has been a few hours and there is no swelling. I'm sure there will be an ugly bruise eventually though. All I can say is that I'm happy that my platelet level is back to normal because otherwise most of my leg would be black and blue.
Well at least no one can blame it on having some drinks since I clearly did not--especially given where I am.

I wish you a speedy recovery since I injured my left knee last year falling down on the step that is front of my front door but thank goodness my knee did not start swelling.

Will you need to report it, and document it or anything? I am glad your platelets are better as well.

All the cords we use to connect our devices to can be hazardous. I did the same not long ago. Managed to grab the doorframe on the way down and saved myself from injury.

I always tell people your feet don't have eyes &
they rely on your eyes to watch where their going.
