Geocaching Wounds

Last night I fell out of a tree. 

I was climbing the tree to get to a geocache I had placed but needed to check on before it was published. I was maybe 4 or 5 feet off the ground and the piece of bark one of my feet was placed on broke off. It broke off just as I was moving my other foot to a higher foothold. My arms didn't have a good grip so I basically slid down the trunk of the tree. In the process I scraped up my knees, stomach, chest, the undersides of both of my arms, hands and my chin. 

I was pretty shocked when I finally hit the ground. I picked myself and started to cry a little because the pain was pretty bad. I immediately stopped crying because I knew I was alone and still had to walk to my car and drive myself home. And crying wasn't going to help. When I got to my car I quickly used my flashlight to check my injuries. Just a little blood but nothing major. 

So I drove home, walked in the door, and told my parents, "I fell out of a tree." The shock on their faces when they saw me and heard what I said was scary. My mom jumped up and took care of me, cleaned me and sanitized my wounds. 

My arms and chin are the worst. In looks and in pain.
