Always Here; I could empathize with the sad story about your husband slipping on ice one year ago and again this year. Because it happened to me. But, I didn’t need ice to hurt my body and get black and blue marks and excruciating pain. In my case, the first part of Hashem’s message to me happened before Pesach when I skidded off a wet loading dock with one foot and the rest of my body hitting the lift gate of a truck. (The exact circumstances I am too embarrassed to tell.) I could not sit or stand. I could only sleep turned completely on one side. When that pain almost subsided, I tripped and fell inside the bus that I drive. On the way to the floor, I hit the back of a seat with my left arm, injuring the muscle and paralyzing my left arm. For months, I had a black and blue mark.
Now let me go off on a humorous tangent, addressed to “Zahavasdad”. You should have used your cell phone to call your Rav, asking a Sheilah if that particular property owner was allowed to shovel the snow on Shabbos. (Since in your view it is 100% allowed.) Or you should have called a cab to take you home. Or to the emergency room.
