PSA: Shopping carts are NOT toys!

Sorry for my lack of posts this week, but I am recovering from a fall due to a shopping cart mishap. It has been hard to shop or clip and organize this week so I just haven't. Lucky for me I have a huge stockpile and stocked up on milk, eggs and fruit before my little accident.
Here is where the PSA (public service announcement) comes in.
I guess the "experts" know what they are talking about. You should NOT ride on a shopping cart down a parking lot!
I had my oldest with me and she wanted to "go FAST" and I made the mistake of hopping onto the cart for a ride too. Well, lets just say the cart toppled! Lucky for me my child was uninjured, my left hand and knee though, was not so lucky. This occurred on Sunday evening and today is the first day I have an actual scab so I don't have to have it covered in bandages.
For those that like to see details, I will provide the link for pictures. For those with a weak stomach, I suggest NOT looking, these look gross.
This is what it looked like Monday afternoon. Here is what it looks like today.
Anyway, enough boring stuff, if I bombard you with posts today, I am sorry but I am just happy to get some of my mobility in my fingers back!
Oh, and remember: Shopping carts are NOT toys. Be careful out there.

eta: Thanks goes to CVS and Walgreens for all the deals on free bandaids and Neosporin :)

awww you poor thing. Concrete burns are so painful! I hope you have lots of Neosporin stocked up.

Oh, so sorry! But very glad your child is okay. My husband "rides" with the kids, too. I wouldn't even attempt to, though.

Frances said...

Oh, no! Poor you! I am so glad your daughter wasn't hurt.

Don't do that again!!

Ooooooohhhhh, Stephanie, so sorry to hear about your accident. Looks very painful, but could have been worse. We would be ready to throttle our kids for doing this, suppose they careened into the path of a moving vehicle. Hope you are a fast healer.
