What to do if yesterday afternoon when I was shopping in my local grocery store, I slipped in the produce section?

When I slipped I fell sideways causing me to land on my hip and elbow. After pulling myself together and getting up I noticed some mashed up grapes all over the floor where I had slipped. One of the nearby customers witnessed it and came to my aid to help me. She yelled out for the manager. I waited near the area for him to block it off so no one else would fall. I told him what happened and checked out. I went home then came back about an hour later to fill out an incident report. The manager reported it to the insurance company. What do I do now?
