After teaching today, I tripped and fell. Right in front of three guys who were building the hebrew school's sukkah. I was in terrible pain. I wanted to stay on the ground and cry, but I couldn't - too embarrassed. I couldn't let them see my pain and suffering. I got up right away. "I'm okay," I laughed nervously, feeling like a total moron. Meanwhile, I scraped up my left knee, my right elbow, and both hands.
Would it have been so bad to just lay there and cry?
Love, Maven @

I agree, what are we proving when we brush off the pain?

That sounds like something that would happen to me, except in my case, I'm sure my dress would have flipped up above my head making the whole thing that much more embarassing! Sorry you fell, hope nothing broke! :)

I always kind of wonder that... why am I always so quick to say, "No, really, I'm OK!" and only a minute later realize that I can barely move...
