Managed to take a tumble down my back stairs on Sunday just after I got off from the morning half of my shift. It had stopped raining and my brain was equating no rain with dry stairs, apparently, so when I started carelessly down the stairs after Angel, to urge her out into the yard to go potty, my foot slipped out from underneath me, I smashed down sideways on the first step (butt, back, neck), then spun down the stairs and crashed to a landing on my hands and knees, smacking the crown of my head into the corner of the 4x4 post of my gate.
Blubbered like a baby!
Poor Maxx was out having a gaming day with friends, but I called him and when I managed to stop crying just enough to tell him what happened he came home to check me over. I have quite the colourful bruise on my butt (how can a part of the body so conveniently padded manage to fall directly centred onto the corner of the stair to smash me on the one non-padded part?!), and my poor right knee is very sore ... too sore to keep a bandaid on it, as the pressure from the bandaid when I have to bend my knee is very painful (as is the dogs jumping up on it, but that's harder to prevent!), and my neck is very sore.
Just got back from the doctor about the fall, as family members urged me I should really go and get checked out, and all is okay, I just need to keep on with some Ibuprofen and Robaxacet, and have a referral for some massage therapy .....
.............So .......... this means I get to go get some massages! Yay me! Especially since my benefits package at work gives me $500/year for massages.
I'll let you know how that goes, once I find a good one to go to!
