Before DD's tumbling class last night, the two instructors were flipping around having some fun. One of them did a hand stand against the wall. I was all "Psh, I can do that." I was in tumbling (several years and pounds ago), so I could totally do that.
So when we got home I was showing DH how strong I was. I flipped myself up on the wall and didn't have my balance, so I fell onto my head and left shoulder, bending my left thumb all the way back toward my wrist.
Owie.
My thumb immediately got hot and hurt to bend. It still really hurts this morning and I can't grip anything. Couldn't hook my bra this morning. It's a little swollen and maybe a little bruised. I don't think it's broken, just strained.
What hurts most is realizing I'm not as strong/nimble/agile as I used to be. :)

Oh no. But I'm sure your DD thinks you're AWESOME.

Poor thing. I'm sure you still got it with some more practice.

Ouch!! I would kiss your pride and make it better, but that may be a little too personal coming from an internet stranger.

I just a friendly gal looking for options.

I bet your DH thought it was totally hot. Right before you ate it.

Hee. I'm guessing it was not so sexy. Maybe if I had pulled it off.

ha. I tried this the other night, too. I was wise enough to start on my elbows instead of my hands, in part because I was in the middle of a sea of toys with sharp edges.
Still, even that did not go well.
Maybe this should be a goal, like being able to do 20 pushups or plank for 5 minutes or whatever.
