I won't even bother numbering this, since I'm bound to lose track, and because I'm sure I won't remember the order in which they happened. Hmm, maybe I should make an effort at the end of each day to record each day's stupid antics.
Todays stupid thing was to fall down the steps. My stomach had been bothering me, so I went upstairs to get my Tums, which sometimes help quell those little pains. After I had gathered the few things I wanted, and put them in a bag (this is important), I began to slowly walk down the stairs.
Now, I walk downstairs the way a toddler does. Hang on the bannister, and walk, one step at a time (one foot down, other foot down), until you get to the bottom. I got about 4 stairs from the bottom, and decided to get try walking down the last stairs normally.
I'm not entirely certain what happened, meaning - did I miss a step, or just slip off the step. Either way, I found my feet flying out from under me, and me bumping down the rest of the way. Thankfully, the stairwell is built so that the bannister and wall are on my left, so I banged my left shoulder, knee, and I think my hip. I'm not entirely certain - I blame this on the meds. I do remember I landed in a somewhat awkward position.
I don't think I'm hurt, aside from a few bumps, and possibly a few bruises. My neck doesn't hurt any more than it normally does, and I didn't bang anything near my neck (where the scar is). I think the worst is to my pride. Just feeling stupid is all.
ok, well, time to go to bed - I can't believe it's 1:30 -- as always - time has gotten away from me.
