Japanese Proverb: Fall down seven times, get up eight

I was taking the trash out Saturday morning when we were on vacation in Boone, NC, but I slipped and fell on the wet front porch steps (it rained cats and dogs while we were there).  I was lucky that I only bruised my arm and tailbone, but today is the first time I've been able to sit without using an inflatable "donut."  The older I get, the longer it takes to recover.

A whole week of pain?
So sorry SIL.

No, more than a week of pain... just 'self-limited' to one week with the donut. My recommendation to all: Don't fall.
