Stupid! Stupid!

I am off and puttering in the yard yesterday.  I've cleaned up the plants in the greenhouse, I didn't lose as much as I thought I did.  Only one Jade lost all the petal/leaves, hopefully it will come back, the stems seem okay for now.  I lost two out of three peppers but that's okay they looked like crap this year and one of them was repotted again from the year before.  I had no idea that I could do that so it was going on two years old.  I lost one hibiscus but then it looked bad before our twelve degree weather.  I had cleaned off the walkway, and was working on the chicken TV area.  They have thrown out a ton of sand and straw into that area so I was putting that pound in edging on that side and was raking out all the mess they made.  I had set the small rake down against a bench and was using the big one.  I turned around and was walking away when I fell over the small rake.  It had slipped down and I caught the front of my right calf on it. 
So, when I went down it pulled my right leg and I landed on my hands and knees.  It pulled the muscle in my maximus glutimus or otherwise known as my butt cheek.  I had to stay there for a moment and rest.  So, I go inside, it hurts to walk and sitting is worse and I search online.  I'm sure I pulled the muscle and I iced it and layed on my side on the couch all day, talk about boring.  But I couldn't do steps easily nor walk far so it said it was the best thing to do.  I took Excederin Back and Body.  I do feel better today but I still have this baseball inside my butt cheek so am sitting on a pillow right now.  I guess I don't need the hospital ER after all, I seriously thought about it last night though!  I'm glad I'm off for 2 more days, but I can't bend over easily.  I can do it but it is a bit painful.  Time will tell...
