..because I have fallen down my stairs twice in a month. :thumbdown:

A few weeks ago, I was 3 steps up from the floor when i slipped and fell on my ass, leaving a HUGE bruise. I didn't break anything, even though I slid into my photo screen at the bottom of the stairs and knocked it all wonky. Well...

..last night, I fell down the damn stairs again.

I was holding a small glass bowl and a juice glass and IDK if I am under the impression that I can fly like a bird or what, but I fell on the SAME steps. The glass bowl and juice glass went flying, landing on my tiled floor, but they didn't break. Me, on the other hand, I am injured.

Apparently my right foot stayed in place when I slipped and my knee bent, causing my shin to press against the carpet of the stairs and my body fell on my leg. NICE! So I tumble to the floor and immediately feel a terrible burning pain on my shin. I look at it, and there's about a 4 inch BAD carpet burn. I'm talking..no skin..exposed leg..PAIN!

Jules came running down after me. I'm sure he knew what to expect when he heard a crash, since I JUST did this not too long ago. Well I just couldn't stop crying. Not only because I was in pain and I was bleeding, but because I am obviously unable to WALK properly. :(

IDK if a combination of my loose socks and the carpet are causing this, or the fact that my hands were full and I wasn't holding the rail or what. I'm so mad at myself. I hate stairs!
 
Aww Manda!! Your poor leg! I would guess it's the socks and carpet combo. I've fallen more than once on stairs that way.
 
Dude, keep away from the stairs...I should not talk though..happened to me a bunch of times too and I broke my butt, I am sure of it!!!! I think what happened to me was I stepped down a stair and the arch of my foot landed on the edge of the stair and I was a goner...You would think I learned a lesson from that first butt breaking but noooooooo done it a few times :(

I hope you feel better soon
 
Aww...I fell your pain. I remember I lived in this one apt. where I would fall down the stairs at least once a week! My roomie thought it was hilarious...I just felt like a clutz.
 
I think I will cut a hole out in my office floor and install a firehouse pole and just slide down to the living room. Jules said he was going to buy me a hoveround and install an escalator. LMAO!
 
Good grief, woman! So glad you survived, but that's GOTTA hurt.

I vote for the pole. And you could take up pole dancing on the side. It's win/win really.
 
Stair are the worst things ever, I do that about once every 4 or so months, just to remeind my self I am still clumsy, and haven't out grown it:)


Glad you didn't break anything!

LOL I was going to suggest ditching the stairs and getting an escalator!!
Hope you heal quickly and BE CAREFUL!!!
 
Bean if you keep this up you'll never get to dance with Paula!

Be careful girl! I hope you feel better soon!
 
Look, I told you that you cannot be dancing like Paula on stairs!
Sheesh...when will you ever listen to me!?!?!?! :confused:
 
You guys..how did you know I was dancing to 'Opposites Attract' on the stairs? I got the steps back part down, but the forward..woah.
 
I think what I will do is...

1. Have a pole attached to my desk chair that will reach to the downstairs area.

2. Sit in my chair when I am working and when I want to watch TV or cook or whatever else happens downstairs..presto slide-o..here I gooooooooo!

Seems easy enough.
 
I won't through a spell where I kept tripping up and down our stairs. I don't know if I was just rushing around or if my brain had stopped working but I was seriously get worried about my self!!
 
awww!! i'm sorry to hear about your fall manda!

I am a HORRIBLE klutz.. so I totally feel for you trust me!
 
Ouch Manda!! I hope you are okay! I always tend to trip and fall going UP the stairs! lol. I am a huge klutz!
 
Oh no chika!! I feel on mt tailbone not to long ago, my feet got caught up in my to long pants and down I went like a ton of bricks! You could always try installing a slide! *huggs*
