Another Fall

patricia | General, Pitatayo | Saturday, August 4th, 2007

I fell again for the 6th time since May. What’s up with me falling all the time?

This time I was at the San Juan airport waiting for our flight back to Orlando (so sad). All of a sudden at the same time, I slip forward a little, twist my ankle and fall forward. Turns out there was a little patch of water I stepped on.

But I remember it in slow motion.

I slip, twist my ankle, land on my right knee and put my right arm out to break the fall. Then i remember I don’t want to hit my head again and stick out my stomach.

Later I call my aunt to let her know we’re on the plane and about the fall. Her response: AGAIN?!

The best part of the story:

The entire time I was holding a small cup of coffee in my left hand and as I fell I kept holding it until I hit the floor, where I placed it still intact.

    I’m glad you didn’t hit your head and that you saved your coffee!
    Hope to see you soon!

  3. I’ve seen people fall with their beer intact, but
    I’ve never seen the same with coffee.
    That may be a first. Glad you’re ok.
