Ouch - The Dreaded Ice

[lizbud]

How are you feeling now Ellie? Sometimes after the shock of the fall is
over, the pain really starts to set in. Can you get someone to spread de-icer
around your steps for you? Can the pups get around on the ice pretty good?

We had all freezing rain last night and everything outside is covered in
ice. No snow, all ice. We are supposed to get more freezing rain today
and tonight.

I'm sore, but I know it will be worse tomorrow. My son put down Ice Melt before he left for work. He doesn't even know I fell - he would have read me the riot act for not waiting for him to take them out. I'm surprised he didn't hear the thud, but their bedroom is on the opposite end of the house and he was busy getting ready to leave for work, so I lucked out!

The pups don't do good on ice, and they just go out in the yard to "graze". It's getting up and down the steps that's a challenge, and that's why I have to carry Old Lady Myndi. Poor girl didn't know what to think this morning after she went flying out of my arms. She just stood on the patio, looking at me sitting on the step, and had the most bewildered look on her face - almost like "Why did you throw me down the steps Mom???" Thank goodness she wasn't hurt.

We will get rain and/or ice thru the night tonight too. I am so hoping for rain. Hey - I'll even take snow rather than ice. I'm thinking rain tho, since we are close to the coast and the forecast is saying probably rain for this area.
