Down I fell on black ice in the driveway. Felt myself slip and all I could think of was "protect the new hip". Landed no my knee and then face. Ouch!! I have a bruise left cheek bone and chin-- I'll probably have a black eye in a few hours. Thinking I will be looking like Rocky Babola for a few days. But, the hip is ok!!! :) yikes!

Juno, thankful you are bruised but ok. The ice and snow has been brutal, I crashed heavily on ice on my MTB and cracked my femur. Not recommended! I use YakTrax on my shoes for walking on the snow and ice, they work very well. Take care.

Yikes Juno! Sounds like a colorful outcome. After the first six months, we've had plenty of hippies face / hip / all sorts of stuff plant and be good.

Take care, also dealing with black ice here.

Wow...scary but a great save Juno!

Yikes, sorry to hear of your nasty fall, but hopefully you'll bounce back quickly from that and thank goodness the hips are ok.
