Me!

This is the first time I've ever lived in a house with stairs and what have I done, not three months after moving in? I fell down the stairs. The whole damn flight. I tripped over my own two feet, bounced off the corner and landed at the bottom, knocking myself out for an unknown about of time.

I called my mum, who insisted that I go to the ER to make sure I wasn't extra broken or anything important or paralyzed myself. By the time she got here, I was getting drowsy and mumbling to myself about the damn stairs. Steven was waiting at the ER, so they tag-teamed the triage while I, unattended, promptly fell asleep. For damn near two hours.

The doctor came to see me, but unfortunately since I was so damned quiet, no one bothered to x-ray me. Win again. I slept a little more while they were doing that and until they moved me into my own room. I would have continued to sleep, except the Burning Unholy Pain™ started up in my neck and back. Luckily, my doctor wasn't too long out, probably because I had already been hassling the nurses using my compact to watch what they were doing. Finally, I was allowed to trot over to the bathroom and potty.

So the win tally is a concussion, a cervical strain, a few pulled muscles and a bunch of bruises. No driving for 24 hours, take the magical percs to keep the Burning Unholy Pain™ at bay, and learn to walk upright like the rest of the world. Oh, and ice. Lots and lots of glorious ice.

I'm so glad this week is almost over. It's been so full of win, I don't know if I could take much more.

Anyhow, I'll be on the laptop for, oh, the next 36 hours. Feel free to entertain me.

Oh my god! Are you ever not injured or sick? I'm sorry to hear of your tumble. I hope you feel better in no time.

Thanks for checking in on me. Chatting with you totally made my night.

I think I only end up posting a lot when I'm sick/hurt/laid up. Of course, I do have 55 entries tagged sick...

Oh man.... I am glad you weren't worse off.

I am the clumsiest person ever, but I have yet to fall down the stairs. I always fall UP them.

Don't worry, I landed out my hardest part: my head.

I usually trip up things. I have no idea how I managed this other than I felt my foot slip and thought "Oh, shit..."

I've been giving my stairs sidelong glances since I got home. They have it in for me, the bastards.

Where was your stunt double for the stair scene. Kidding, ;) Glad your ok.

[devilgrrl.livejournal.com]

Haha, my stunt double is often unreliable.

Woah. I'm glad you weren't more seriously hurt. Hope you're feeling better soon. :)

Thankfully my head is quite hard and impervious to damage. My poor back, however, is not so much dense.

I think I need a bubble. That should fix most issue. Had I a bubble, I would gently have rolled down the stairs, instead of pulling a Jack Sparrow/Jar of Dirtesque fall.

I swear, people are going think Steven beats me or something. The lady in the ER was looking at me wicked funny when I was trying to explain that no, I really did fall down the stairs and I really was by myself.

Gah! I'm glad you're okay! Stop falling down stairs! *hug*
