I had a fall this morning out by my mail box, the grass was wet and slippery and the ground is steeply sloped so I lost my footing and fell onto the driveway landed on my posterior and momentum carried me over onto my back - I didn't hit the ground with my head. I was okay for a few hours but then the upper middle back and the lumbar area got sore, probably due to the suddenness of the stop when hitting the ground, so now I am being careful about movement to help the pain subside - which it has. I am telling you this to explain why I didn't do this thread in the morning.
