I got hit in the back of the knees at the dog park today and the front of my ankle was bent a little further than it wanted to go. A ballerina I am not! So it's sore, but I am not incapacitated, and it will hopefully be back to its old self in a couple of days. I've got some ice on it and actually have it elevated. For now.
That stuff happens so fast. I think everyone in our little group has been taken out by a dog at one point or another. More than once for some of us. Darn dogs.
It's funny how if someone goes down like that, it creates quite a kerfuffle with the dogs and many want to get right in there and see what's going on, my Sally included. The offending goofball of a dog (he absolutely earns that title in everyday life as well, well the goofball part) was utterly clueless about what he did. So funny. I can't be mad at a dog who has no clue.
My dog park peeps were totally awesome in making sure I was OK, and even made kindly pests of themselves to encourage me to at least run cold water on it from the spigot in the park. That felt pretty good, so I went home and got the ice. I appreciate their concern and will tell them again when I see them.
I made a bunch of new button-clay bracelets that I'll be posting on the Etsy site over the next few days and also on my other blog. It's very satisfying to make these. When it all comes together, I really like the effect.
O yes, RICE.. do get some proper rest and keep your weight off them; you'll be right as rain soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting me; I'm very glad to have discovered your blog and your beautiful work! Good gracious, I shall have to include one of your awesome pieces in my "Loving Today" feature. Let's follow each other? :)
Thanks for stopping by! I've got another blog for my jewelry stuff, it's http://physariadesigns.blogspot.com. I should put a link on this blog.
DeleteAnd thanks for the good wishes. :-)
Oooh-ouch-ooo-owie! Yupper, it sure can happen that fast. And, yes, dogs are funny. I remember once I fell and cracked my head -- nothing serious -- on a cement block at my in-laws house during construction. Their German Shepard was straddling me with her wet nose in my face before I even knew what happened! Glad to hear your injury wasn't worse. Do take care not to stress the ankle for long enough though.
ReplyDeleteThanks, MP. Yes, being horizontal messes with their sense of order in the Universe or something. But thankfully not in the "I've gotta bark at this" kind of way.
DeleteGlad it wasn't anything serious! Thanks so much btw; nothing major was wrong, just one of those things which makes me very unpleasant to be around so I did the smart thing and stayed away until I could be human...or would that be humane...again.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Glad you're back and feeling well again.
DeleteHeaven sakes - one wouldn't think that there was so much body contact (between dog and human bodies) at the dog park! It's funny how sometimes people, in their determination to be 'helpful' can actually make things worse. Sounds like you have a nice group there. And hope you're back to normal by now. I have to go over to your Etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs want to both be close to the humans and be hooligans - it can be a dangerous mix sometimes :-).
DeleteSorry to see the time of your comment - late night? Thanks for visiting the shop, I'm adding a bunch of new stuff over the next couple of weeks.
