Breathe In… Breathe Out
Just a quick update. I’d always seen things in movies or on tv where the character talks about having the breath knocked out of them. I never knew what that felt like until today. I had to go get something out of my car this am. I wasn’t paying attention to the stairs (there are 5) or the distance from top to bottom probably 6 feet total. One second fine, next airborne. Well I’m not sure falling on one’s own ass is technically airborne or not.
Ok, it wasn’t exactly my ass either. It was more like my back just above my waist (hit one step) and just below my shoulder blades (hit another step).
I couldn’t breathe for what was only maybe a few seconds, but it felt a lot longer than that. I got up, calmed down and remembered how to breathe. It hurts like hell. No insurance means no Dr, but if it’s not better tonight I guess I’ll have to self pay at an ER or urgent care place YAY.
