yikes! hope you heal in good time. a second of inattention that results in injury is a wake call to stay mindful and present - thank you for sharing how it happened. xxk
Cried laughing. Actual crying. (And wheezing, as it were, because I have an 18-month-old in daycare and never don’t have a cold.) Read it out loud to my wife and couldn’t see for the tears.
I was identically dismayed about “help!” when I got in between my dogs fighting several years back and one of their collars came off. It’s effective, though, as it turns out, as my always-shirtless, always-outside, late-forties next door neighbor leapt over the fence between our yards and sprayed us all with a hose. My hand was bitten and broken, but I was otherwise fine. Perhaps I would have healed faster if I had a swimming hole to get back to.
So sorry you brought back a damaged leg as a memento from your trip. I usually take a 30 min walk in my neighborhood every morning. Last Sunday, I decided to jog down one street and tripped on the sidewalk. I have two bruised knees and a bruised and swollen lip. I never jog so what possessed me, I wonder.

Mindfulness & presence aren't my strong suits! But I will try.
