ice, ice and more ice!



so the past few days we have had a pretty good ice/snow storm. the news had advised to people to stay indoors at one point during the night because of all the ice and lack of visibility on the roads.

lucky for me i got to experience this ice first hand. or should i say my tail bone experienced the ice. i was on my way out the door coffee in one hand and keys in the other. as i was making my way to the stairs i usually remember that our steps get very slippery but for some reason i wasn't thinking of slippery steps. and sure enough that last step got the best of me. my right foot and whole leg came out from underneath me and the only thing that hit the step as i fell was my tail bone on the very edge of the concrete step. i had immediately lost my breath and was convinced that i had broken my tail bone. i hadn't experienced this much pain in a while, not even with my many bruised and cracked ribs from our karate tournaments. lucky for me my adrenaline was pumping so i could quickly compose myself in front of a van stopped at the stop sign next to our house who was either laughing at me or concerned if i was going to get up.

my tail bone is bruised and sore but it's not broken. thanks Lord.
