Just call me Grace

Okay God, it's time to talk. Let's review my night.
First I start spotting, 9 pm. Nothing I didn't see coming but saddening nonetheless.
9:50 pm: I walk up our hardwood stairs to feed the begging mutts, I lose my footing and tumble down a flight of stairs, backwards and somehow landing in fetal position after doing a complete flip. A very bloody knee and extremely bruised & sore back, I now have to go to work, 10:10 pm (because according to my contract, you can't call in sick unless it's three hours before your shift. whateeeeever).
02:00 am after limping around my unit all night, I get a new patient. She delivers a beautiful baby, although she got her tubes tied years ago. Hmph... as I continue to spot. And now I'm pretty sure a rib or two in my back is broken (since I've had broken ribs before - and this feels worse).
So I'm just wondering after a bloody leg, broken rib, and a slap in the face - what gives?
I'd appreciate some feedback soon.
Sincerely,
April

Oh my! I hope you're ok. I can't imagine having to work with broken ribs.
