am basically OK, but last night I fell off the foam roller while doing a balance exercise, and cut my forehead on the corner of the dresser.

cattitude and adrian_turtle both heard me shout and hurried into the room, and I asked for an ice pack, which someone handed me. They got me a pillow so I could lie on my back on the floor, after I noticed blood trickling down my forehead. Adrian then went back to her Talmud study group (I told her I would be okay with just Cattitude there), and Cattitude brought me juice, and a gauze pad to press against the cut. After a few minutes I took his advice, went into the bathroom, and washed my forehead, and he taped a fresh pad over the cut and brought me a cup of tea.
Weirdly, before I fell I was doing better than usual at keeping my balance while standing on the foam roller. I always do this balance exercise facing the dresser or some other piece of furniture, so I can reach forward and use the top of the dresser to steady myself when I start to wobble. So, a more interesting evening than I'd expected or wanted, but not nearly as bad as it might have been.
I was up late (because of the caffeinated tea and probably adrenaline), but am feeling better after a night's sleep. I iced my left hand right after falling, and there's no noticeable bruise there, which is a relief.

*gentle virtual affection of your choosing, if desired*
I have balance exercises I do and they are always a conundrum between having something I can stabilize or catch myself on, and trying to stay clear of anything that might bonk my head. :/
