I was done watching The View on TV this morning and was taking my wine glass (I drink sparkling water in them) upstairs when I stumbled on the 3rd from the top step. In an effort to save the glass from breaking I must have tensed all the muscles on the left side of my body. My neck, shoulder, armpit,ribs butt and behind my knee hurt-with neck the worst so far. I slammed down some advil but really could use a muscle relaxant now (wine will have to do). I think I will have to sit in whirlpool bathtub today for sure. I started my neck exercises as I think I'm gonna be in some major pain!!

I am such the klutz (and I'm throwing away those slippers too!!

I have stumbled with this slippers so much (they are slip ons) I should have tossed them already!! The advil is kicking in though!!

I wish I had enough points in the bank to send you a bottle of wine or a hug, but this'll have to do
. Feel better soon and don't get too down on yourself- we ALL have our clutzy moments. Thank goodness you have a whirlpool tub to help soak some of the pain away!

Don't apply heat to a fresh injury. Use ice packs to the affected areas. Heat will only make it worse at this point. You only use heat for chronic injuries like arthritis.
