A few weeks ago I was rushing to a meeting that I was late for. I stepped from the street up onto the curb but the curb was higher than I expected, and so I fell forward, breaking the fall with my hands. I skinned my knee and both of my wrists were sprained, the right wrist of my writing hand was painful for weeks afterwards.
