Ouch! I hope your injuries heal quickly. Ice works on the bruises. I know how it feels: a couple of weeks ago I got off the bus at the wrong stop southbound on Westlake Ave N, just after the Aurora bridge. I had to cross the street, so I waited for a gap in the traffic. As I crossed too quickly, I fell hard on my knees in the middle of Westlake, but managed to crawl to the curb before a car sped around the curve (people usually drive 40mph there). The damn cane didn't help at all, and I bruised my hands too. I was badly shaken; I've fallen a lot in my life but it hurts more of me now than it used to. Then I walked a half mile to my destination, managing not to fall again. My knees were bloody, scraped, gouged and bruised. I guess I'm lucky, because I know a couple of women my age who have fallen and broken bones. Next time I'll pay better attention to the bus stops, that's for sure.
