Here I was sitting here tying and remembered the laundrey needed changed over. So I went down to the basement. Only not the normal way. I slipped on a toat lid on the landing and fell down the last 7 stairs to the basement. Ok it was more like a bad day of surfing LOL!! I hit my back, my arm, my butt, and my leg. My back and my arm are the worst. I have a big red mark across my back and my arm feels like I twisted it or rolled over it. DAMN THAT HURT!!! So its officila IM A DUMB A**!! LMAO! Ya I can laugh now but I wasnt when it happened. I called my hunny to come home and check out the damage. What sucks most is that in an hour or two we are going christmas shopping. Got a good excuse to not carry anything. LOL. Just a month ago I fell up..yes up, the same set of stairs and bashed my shin pretty good. It was all swollen and bruised. Those stairs are going to be the death of me! LOL. Im glad I only got bruised up and didnt brake anything. Have you ever done something like this??

Wow, that looks horrible. I'm so sorry you fell. I fall all the time. Doesn't mean either of us is a dumb a**.
Something you might try is taking aspirin. It thins the blood which will help a bruise to disperse more quickly. It might help with the aches and pains you have from the fall, too. :D
Hope you get back to feeling ok soon.

That is not funny, hopefully you are not hurt too bad. I hope the Christmas shopping went ok. My husband called me at work one day, and when I got to the phone, he said my name and as soon as he heard me answer him, he says help me. That was all. Of course, I only lived about 3 minutes away, I turned to my boss and told her I needed to leave, and did not know if I would be back. I did not know whether to call 911 or what. As I get home and get through the door, he is laying at the bottom of the steps and our 14 month old was walking around crying, and calling Daddy's name. He had hit his head and was unconsious until I had gotten home. He had sliced his toe. We have 15 steps and he had fallen carrying our son, down about 12 of them. He was ok, but it was quite a scare, I called his mom and asked her to come over and sit with him because he would not go to the hospital and get checked out. I was scared because of him hitting his head. I did go back to work, but not for a little while. Those falls can be deadly. Glad you are ok.

Thats would have been scary. Im glad both husband and son are ok. My hunny only works like 2 minutes away. So when I called and said I fell he was home before I hung up. Im glad hes close so if something bad did happen hes right there. Thanx so much. I fell really sore and stiff today but happy cuz it could have been worse.

Okay, CAREFUL on the steps Copper! Please be careful!
Now that that's done, I'm glad you are okay. I was getting a bit worried seeing this. Just be careful on the steps, its nothing to rush.
And I think everyone's slipped on the steps sometime in their lives. When I was young I busted myself up bad slipping down. It wasn't great. I think that may have triggered my better care on steps. Even if I slip, somehow I have presence of mind to catch, brace or stop. Its interesting. I mean just the other day I was about to slip again, but caught myself within a second!

Poor girl, that looks like it really was a painful one, ouch! And then, you have to go Christmas shopping, ohhh, go figure ya know. And I wanted you to have a fun day!
Yes, I've fallen up the stairs in my younger days, a couple of times. And I like you laugh at myself after a while, it's like, are you kidding me, falling UP the stairs, who does that?, haha!....me and you. Down is the easy one.
So glad nothing is broke, whew, that would have been a Christmas you'd never forgot!

We did go shopping anyway. It wasnt to bad after all. The lines wernt to bad. It really wasnt to crowded, and it seemed we always got lucky with a close parking spot. I got soooo much crap for the kids. LOL. Got some good deals. I even bought me a new shirt and a puzzle. Finished the puzzle last night. The kids should be happy. I guess we are going again in a week or so to get some more things. My older son really wants a bike that looks like a motorcycle. Man they are going to have a big christmas this year! YEAH!!!

Whoa! That gotta hurt! Next time be careful in walking up and down in those stairs. You may get hurt a lot and those stairs are lethal. Just try to remember what happened everytime you need to go to the basement so you'll take extra care. I have an idea! Why don't you put up a "Watch your step" sign! hehe Like the one in malls and other establishments. That way, you'll always get to remember what had happened and you will be a lot more cautious. Just try it! Maybe It will help you and your hunny in those stairs. Be careful.

It was the first one I got when I got my first job and was 18. It needs recolored though and im thinking about adding to it. Maybe 2 roses that say my sons names on them.
