Owwies!

Yesterday, I slipped and fell in the work cafeteria near the salad bar. The tile around the salad bar was wet and it's particularly smooth. My right foot slid forward and I went mostly straight down with my left knee kind of bending and going outward and my right leg going straight the other way. I yelled OW! really loudly. I made sure my left knee was okay (I've injured it before) then I move over to the carpet to get up. Surprisingly, my left knee is not bothering me as much as the back of my right upper thigh/buttocks area. I did file a report in case I need further medical attention. I suspect I pulled a muscle back there or worse. Compounding things was the fact that I had to work late and didn't get home until around 10 pm so I wasn't able to ice it until then (sat on the ice pack when I got home). I have today and tomorrow off (the perks of working at a Catholic university). But I'm going in tomorrow to perform server maintenance (the downside of working in IT). I slept in today and I plan to go shopping. The injuries seem to be a little better but I still require some ibuprofen to function with reasonable tolerance.
