## Narrative

Lower Tower Hill: the site had large frost slabs with snow covering them. We could not see what was under the snow. I stepped on a rock.  The rock slipped and rolled out from under my foot. I fell backwards on my left side. My lower left side came in contact with a sharp boulder and knocked the wind out of me. The walk-in clinic x-rayed and diagnosed a bruised lower left rib.
