Last night after leaving some friends I stupidly didn't tie up my boots. The laces were tucked inside, so they were just pretty loose. I've done this so many times when popping outside for a quick minute. We were walking 3 houses down to the car when Alice decided she wanted to be the "leader" and ran a bit ahead. It was a bit snowy and when we had left the house a car slid around the corner in a partially controlled slide (dumbass). Well, I didn't want her to get any closer to the road so I broke into a run while bending down to catch her. I got about a step before my boots locked together and I went down like a sac of bricks.
It hurt. A lot.
I lay on the ground for a couple of minutes. A neighbour was out and had a down vest and insisted it went under my head. Nice man.
Today I don't have any visible bruises on my knees, or right hand / elbow, but FSM do they hurt. I can't get off the toilet without using the counter to stand. I'm avoiding bending down 'cause I'm afraid that I won't be able to get up. I hope that I feel better soon.
In conclusion, always take the extra time and do up your boots.
