I fell over a “blind” parking slab this morning and contused my upper left arm.

I am sure it is the slab’s fault.

I was getting to the air machine at the gas station and this thing, a bumper, was there to protect the machine. Not me.

I went to urgent care for cleaning and looking and they put in four stitches.

It does not hurt.

It is clean. The contusion is rather wide.

They are over cautious but I will follow directions including a course of antibiotic.

I go back for a look on Wednesday and a removal of stitches in two weeks.

The last injury like this was when I walked into an open drawer in the kitchen this summer.

I hope this is not a trend. I have to think it is related to old age somehow. Whether it is or not is besides the point. I am not going to get younger.

I could get more careful.
