Well now I know what *that* feels like...

You know how Cowley's sent tumbling down the stairs in Rogue? Guess which silly moo managed to fall head first down a flight of stairs at work today? Just when she was writing away for Dialj as well... well, had stupidly paused to treat herself to a biscuit from the canteen, which of course also didn't make it down the stairs intact either...

I've no idea how I managed it really, though I vividly remember that moment when I was thinking Shit, I can't stop myself falling down these stairs... - and then luckily a moment at the bottom where I thought, Right, get up, get up, get up cos you're fine! Which I think was pretty much as soon as I arrived there... *g* And people going Ooh, she's fallen down the stairs... *headdesk*

I don't recommend it though... owwwwww. I have bruises everywhere, and it's entirely possible that two of them are cracks/wee breaks but they're in places where nothing can be done about them anyway, and everyything seems to be pointing in the right direction, and I can hobble on them (big toe on one foot, side of other foot), so... and I've already got the beginnings of a black eye (and my cheekbone hurts - eeep moment when I really hoped I'd not done an MS!)... and scrapes down one leg. And a headache... but I've stopped seeing that interesting zig-zaggy thing that was there at first, so that's good... *g* And even better, now that I'm at home I can take ibuprofen - yeay...

Didn't go to casualty (too far to walk, and they couldn't have done anything - walking wounded, no blood, it's all good) but two of our first aiders were lovely, and took me to the first aid room and I got to lie down - for what turned out to be about three hours! - and when they were happy I wasn't going to expire immediately, they organised themselves to take my bike out to the park and ride and to take me out to the park and ride, and then to drive me home, before going back to work - bless 'em...

And now here I am. Apparently needing to go waaaaaah on lj, and perhaps hope quietly (but just loudly enough) that there might be some Pros-iness around tonight to cheer up the silly moo who fell head first downstairs at work? In fact I've brought some eps downstairs with me (landlady's away this week, so I can expire in peace and quiet) so maybe I'll start with Season One and see how far I get... Or should I re-read Yellow Brick Road, which I also brought down? Or maybe just another wee sleep first... silly moo...

OMG!

How awful! *hugs* A warm bath is in order. That may fight off some of the 'next day' aches. Of course, I'm really late reading this so, so my sage advice is useless. Do be careful.

Re: OMG!

Didn't think I could make it out of a hot bath yesterday, though I might give it a try today - still not sure, mind you... *g* I suspect there'll be next day and next-day aches though, so your advice will still hold! Thank you! *g*

Glad you're all right. Sounds like a scary expereince. Glad you came through intact, for the most part.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It was almost too fast to be scary this time - or maybe I've just moved on from scary these days, and tend to think Oh bugger, here we go again... *g* But yeay for mostly intact, thank you!

[windrain10.livejournal.com]

So very sorry you fell - be kind to yourself for quite a while now, as the aches and stiffness might get more pronounced before they fade away.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

You're definitely right about the stiffness and aches - ouch, ouch, ouch! But they will fade, so all will be ultimately good... thank you for popping by! *g*

Ow! Ow! Ow! You poor thing! I fell down our outside back stairs last summer (during a hurricane, how's that for timing?), so I definitely feel your pain. *hugs gently*

I hope you're better soon. In the meantime, take care, and here's a little picture to cheer you up.

Oh, there's our lads... thank you! They look so as if they;ve been caught at an intimate moment, don't they... *sighs happily*

And oh no for falling downstairs in a hurricane - at least I did have the sense to do it in the dry indoors... You poor thing, hope it didn't take long to heal...

[rochvelleth.livejournal.com]

Oh no, ouch, I'm sorry :( I hope the bruises start to heal soon.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Thank you! They are rather ouch at the moment, but I'm sure they'll sort themselves out quickly - they'd better! *g*

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Eek! Hope yu feel better soon!

*Hugs*

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It was rather eek - but thank you!

Just back from Portugal to find you flinging yourself downstairs and generally destroying yourself... Lots of hugs and sympathy and best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Not quite destroyed, though definitely rather crumpled and torn! I'm getting there though, I've not had to go back to sleep yet today, so that's got to be good, especially as I'm about to drive down to Windsor to see MS on stage (twice! *g*)

Hope you had a fab time in Portugal this time - shall watch out for your post... *g*

[andreathelion.livejournal.com]

ouch,ouch, ouch..... just what have you done, girl, doing a cowley stunt like this O_o

You really can count yourself lucky you haven't had any serious damage ... not that all your bruises, blackeye etc are worse enough.
And I'm really glad to read on your further entries that you are alright so far by now!
