Had a Parkour Accident

[Daniel]

I've got three of my wounds covered in two or more coats of liquid Bandaid. The one with no skin needs an actual bandage. I have one left and can't walk. SIL sent a Walmart+ order with large Bandaids, Neosporin, and 12 of my favorite Orgain organic vanilla protein shakes. ️

Was it at least a bit fun at the time?

[Daniel]

It was... adventurous.

I walked (very carefully and slowly) last night to the clubhouse to charge my phone charger and then back again after a couple of hours.

I tested the leg. It's painful but I can walk without limping if I concentrate.

I think I achieved stretching the leg muscles a little that could be stretched and strengthening the ones a little surrounding the injuries.

The injuries seem to be located in two places. One is deep inside the left thigh. One is on the right side of the leg below where the hip bone ends.

One of the things I can do and plan to do after I move is to get imaging of my lower back, right hip, and both knees. Then I'm going to physical therapy.

You successfully entered. Life is good, if mildly painful.

[Daniel]

@mik Thanks. Life is good and getting better every day.

Oh dear. Glad it’s not worse.

[Daniel]

@realplayer Thanks, Joe.

Of course, it's reasonable to believe you're a bit long of tooth for these hijinks...

I did the last tumbling run as a dare with a woman who was even older than me.

We were camping at an Episcopal Church camp. It was late at night. Everyone was drunk.

We both did a round-off and back handspring without incident.

I didn't tell myself it was the last time I just intuitively knew.

I had to reason with myself to stop climbing the gate.

It's not because it wasn't an easy decision.

It was more the state of mind I'm in at this stage when I have a lot of serious decisions to make and one opportunity to make them.

Best to be a realist. My father was a realist. It's the thing I liked most about him.
