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

byslantedlightYou 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...

I hope you aren't too battered and bruised - sympathy for the inevitable stiff and soreness that tomorrow will bring. And yay to your colleagues for taking good care of you.
Rest up!
