I fell this afternoon. I am up & moving slowly. [View all]

I was moving between the stove & counter to put the pans in the sink. I caught the quad cane tip on the chair & landed on both very arthritic knees, but I was upright. Win! After several very colorful comments I hauled myself up onto a kitchen chair.

I didn't break my glasses, or land on my face or the cats or spill much of the noodles (they were already drained). I expect there will be bruises tomorrow.

Arthritis sucks.
