I fell...

I slipped on water that my dear son had thrown out of the bathtub when I wasn't looking. Went down hard on my hip and my ankle. It really hurts. I'm sure I twisted/sprained my ankle. I called the dr's office today and they said to come in if I started cramping or anything weird happening but so far nothing other than the pain in my ankle! They said I could take Tylenol for the pain if I needed.

I'm scared for winter! I'm a teacher and have to go outside on recess duty once/twice a week and I'm not looking forward to being 7 months pregnant and walking around on ice and snow dealing with little munchkins!

    How scary! I'm glad you are ok, other than the pain of course. I'm worried about ice this winter too- I guess we will all need to be careful!

    Get some cleets (sp?). They make some that slip over your tennis shoes or boots. They get me through the rough Minnesota winters.

    I think they call them Yak-Trackers! They work good too. I live in Northern Michigan and have used them.

    Get cleats. They are a lifesaver.

    That's so scary. I'm glad LO is unaffected but sorry you were injured. I'm a southerner so I'm clueless about the dangers of winter up north. GL this winter and stay safe.

    Ouch, sorry! Definitely get Yak-tracks. We wear them here (Alaska) all winter when there are days where you are practically walking on a skating rink.

    Ouch. I teach middle school and have outside duty in afternoons. If ice becomes a problem, I can likely trade duties for an inside one with a colleague. But I'm guessing elementary doesn't afford that luxury at recess. Maybe your administrator will have suggestions? I'm sure he/she doesn't want to have a workman's comp case or emergency.

    Maybe I'm being silly but why isn't ice cleared off on the playground for the kiddos? I used to teach and don't remember exactly, but I feel like play areas were cleared off or outdoor recess was cancelled if the playground wasn't cleared and/or too cold. We live in Iowa and have a crap-ton of snow/bitter cold days...most are unnecessary (I blame over protective parenting, but that's a whole other topic). Maybe this different where bitter cold and nasty winter weather are the norm and you all aren't afraid of a little snow and ice! That being said my DH is already scared that I'll fall this winter. He claims I fall easily when it's 60 and sunny!!

    PS...wear snow boots and/or yack tracks this winter!!
