I hate stairs!

i am not a fan of stairs. i have stairs in my home. i find its easy to get tired to walking up and down the stairs. there have been times when i was tired and needed to get something from the other room. i had to go down a flight of stairs. i thought i was going to loose my balance and fall down the stairs and hurt my self.

I had a bad experience about stair one time, I fell down that I didn't knew the cause of it. The most stupid and worst thing about is, the people laughed at me instead of helping me get up. (some smart-a$$ed jerks!) After that, I'm always cautious when walking down stairs.. But the most that happens to me is, that I always get tripped-off whenever I walk on flat surfaces. My littlest toe on my foot (not sure the right term to use here!LoL), is the one's that always gets tangled up on debris or obstacles that comes along my way. Just take a rest for awhile, as you could always give a call to your boss at work to explain about your sudden absence..

Ouch! I wouldn't worry about work, that should be the least of your concerns. If you have a doctors note, they simply can't fire you or hold it against you... unless they want a lawsuit that is. Doctors orders, are as they say doctors orders... not to mention legally binding. I used to live in a two story house with basement, I can't tell you how many times I've done exactly what you described. However I tend to fall like an enibriated feline, it's not pretty, it's not graceful, but rarely do I get hurt. Since I no longer have to contend with stairs, I'm constantly falling off of ladders at work. Usually I'm coming down them, with my hands full, miss a step and then gravity takes its course. You could say it's all "downhill" from there. (pun intended)

How awful. You must rest it properly. Surely your employer will be reasonable and let you have the weekend. You must take care (I'm nagging again. Can't help it with people that I like). Do look after yourself and get as pampered as you can be. Hugs.

Sounds like you were very lucky not to do yourself a real serious injury, stairs are dangerous I think. Our stairs are really steep and 5 out of 6 of us in our family,have fell down them at some point, I am the only one who has not....yet. Hope you get better soon.

oh sweetie.. i know where yer comin from, my legs are still screwy from taking a header myself, and i couldnt walk hardly at all for three weeks. maybe ya oughta make a point of living on the first floor? just a thought! hope you recover quick =o)

i also trully hate stairs since i often get lip inmy office stairs. my husband really angry if i getting fall down or slipped easily in my office stairs. whoooooa, i just dislike with stairs

I am glad you are OK!!! My husband fell down ours one time and I got a call at work. My son was only a year at the time. I get called to the phone, I answered it was my husband, he said my name and I answered him and he replied "help me." Nothing more, and the phone was not hung up. I looked at my boss and told her that I had to go and ran to get my keys. I only live about 4 minutes away, so I could get there much faster than calling 911, although I had no idea what I was about to find. When I walked in the house our son was walking around his dad crying, my husband laying on the floor, just coming to, his foot was bleeding but that is all I seen. He had fell all the way from our upstairs carrying our son. We have 13 of them, and landed at the bottom. There was a phone right above his head and the only number he could remember was my work number. He would not go to the hospital and get checked out, I sat with him a little while and fixed his toe. I then called his mom and asked her to come sit with him for a while and make sure nothing happened to him and thankfully nothing did. I went back to work, but it sure was a scare. Stairs are dangerous, but glad they did not get the best of you.

Geesh thats awful hun. I hope that you don't lose your job over it but your boss has to feel some compassion sheesh. We dont' have stairs here thankfully otherwise my kids would probably be in the doctors office alot as well LOL

I think you should be fine. Your boss will probably understand; it's not like you tried to hurt to get out of work. Just be glad your okay.

Oh man lecanis!! I'm so sorry to hear about you and stairs! I don't like them either and we have them in our house. We don't go upstairs very often, in fact, our cats and dogs do much more often than we do. They're good exercise but who wants to exercise? lol Trying to make you laugh hon. Hope it worked. Now get well really soon, Ok but first get some badly needed rest.

That's terrible. I hope the pain goes away soon Lecan. Steps can be a bit tricky, but not that bad. I've gotten quite use to using them, indoors and out. Uh.. take it a bit slower next time! And it may help to keep some of your view on the stairs going down. Well, maybe that won't be as much help as it is to me. I've slipped on the stairs going down more so, but I've always been able to catch myself. Might be reflexes or just a defense, I don't know.

I have the same problem but I trip up the stairs from being in a hurry and just not paying attention. I have had so many sprains that I'm surprised my ankles have not snapped off yet or I haven't had to have a major knee surgery. Welcome to the klutx club, Grace..:)

I too have been victim to the fall and I had an audience. I have since conquered the stairs by counting each step. It is a little obsesive compulsive but it helps you focus on touching each step rather than the focus of falling. Stop thinking about falling down the steps! The good news is you can think of anything you want.

tell me about it, I fell down the stairs in the subway once, and my knee was so bad I needed physical therapy. I lived on the third floor and I have to take a place that is too hundred dollars more a month because I cannot take stairs anymore. I get go up them in the winter.

I hope you have recovered well and never have to see stairs again in your life! I never like stairs myself because it does more harm to my joints than being a form of exercise by climbing them.

OMG--so sorry to hear this...thank goodness there's nothing brown but yes I just bet that left leg is sure sore....Why would staying home threaten your job??..I mean heavens doesn't sound like a caring place to work if they won't allow you to stay home after an accident of any kind

I am so sorry to hear your accident. I hope your leg will recover soon. I remember in the past when I was a kid, I also fell from the stairs but fortunately I was fine. Perhaps at that time I was little and light, so no more wound for me. Take good care of yourself and all the best!

Oh lecanis, i am so sorry to hear that, i hope you will be alright. You be careful with those stairs.

I hope that you feel better soon! I avoid stairs because of my knees, having arthritis makes me more cautious than most people! I have fallen down stairs before, and it hurts a lot!
