Then I stood up and took a bow

I was walking to work this morning, Richard was standing 100 meters in front of me... when the heel of my shoe clipped the uneven pavers. Yep I did it again. I hit the ground.

The great pity is that Richard actually missed it. He reckons he heard the noise of my mobile hitting the ground, looked up, and there I was ... on the ground! When I was still on the ground (these things happen in slow-mo you know), I was expecting this massive guffaw to boom my way, but no.... Hell I know I would've probably wet myself if it had been Richard!

Some kind woman stopped and helped me up, and 5 minutes later when I was wiping the tears from my face, Richard was genuinely worried about me, but they were tears of laughter.

Now for the serious stuff (although I am still laughing myself):

This time I did hurt myself a bit more than last time. Although I was wearing my BRAND NEW leather gloves (I bought them yesterday), so they actually protected my palms (it still hurt, but more from the cold I think). And once again, not a tear in my pants, but some skin is stripped off my knee and is feeling quite sore at the moment.

Anyway before you all start calling me clumsy, careless, maladroit, inept, or any other number of adjectives of the ilk, I can actually tell you why I do this so often. It's my stupid pelvis that I am convinced I inherited from my lopsided father. What I don't know is the cause of my bung-hip i.e. I don't know if it is muscular, skeletal or a combination of both. And for those of you who don't know my story... Because I can't keep my pelvis straight, that is, it goes crooked :-/ it causes me to walk funny. And so, whenever I wear fucked up shoes (i.e. non-kumfs type shoes), I tend to slip, slide, trip and fall. So there.

When I got into work and because I had felt some jarring in my back, I immediately made an appointment with MY FAVOURITE BESTEST PHYSIO IN THE WORLD. He told me within 30 seconds and without me having said anything, that the left side of my pelvis was jarred...and then he fixed me up and all is good...til next time.
