Falling on a wet Floor Hurts.

Last Monday was a normal day like any other day, it is normal for the energy to go out for several hours. And Monday was no exception. This time it left at 8 pm and returned at 11 pm. I am now in the habit of unplugging the desktop computer and the refrigerator.

In December last year, my refrigerator was damaged and after the refrigeration technician fixed it he recommended that I unplug the refrigerator when the power goes out as a precautionary measure for when the power comes back on because the sudden voltage can damage the electrical system of the refrigerator.

Last Monday when the power came back on at 11 pm I went to the kitchen to plug in the fridge, without realizing it, I stepped on a wet foot. And well, what had to happen happened. A whole movie in fast motion because in a matter of seconds I was trying to avoid the inevitable, falling to the floor.

First I wanted to grab the cooler but I just stuck my arms and hit my elbows hard and I couldn't hold on because I had too much momentum. My right leg slipped forward hitting the fridge hard and my left leg bent hitting my knee very hard on the floor and in the end, I fell on it with my whole body.

So I was there on the floor on my left knee. The strong pain took my breath away. My son who was coming out of the bathroom when he saw me on the floor came running towards me asking where it hurt me, but I could not speak.

I spoke to him as best I could, because I was out of breath, I told him to wait a moment. And so he did. After a minute I realized that the hard blow was on my knee but it was fine, there was no fracture. It was just a matter of waiting a little while on the floor to catch my breath so I could get up. With effort my son lifted me off the ground, and little by little I was able to sit on a chair to assess the damage to my body. Both elbows of my arms were slightly bruised, my right knee was already beginning to swell a little and my left knee was the one that showed the most damage, the swelling was bigger, thank God, no fracture, just bruised.

Since that day I have been resting. Taking anti-inflammatory and trying not to walk too much. All this changed my routine. I have days that I don't post and comment on read.cash. Until today I am feeling better and I am writing about what happened to me and telling you why I am not here. I am much better now thank God.

I have not been able to go to the gym either. I always miss these activities in my life, writing, publishing and exercising have become my favorite hobbies. What I have been devoting time to is my plants, but I recognize that I can't stand still for long, only as long as I can. Most of the time I am at rest.

Now I am very careful where I step. And when I go to the fridge I do it in slow motion and with a lot of caution.
