Ugh, it finally happened

[kriadydragon]

I took a spill down the stairs. Thankfully it was a slide and not a tumble (yay for quick reflexes!) But my right foot took the brunt. I can still walk on it, but bend it the wrong way and it hurts. I'm pretty sure it's sprained or something (and... what was it you do for sprains? Ice, elevate and a wrap?) and my tailbone aches :P

I always knew that one day those stairs would best me. Evil, evil stairs. Get 'em Obi-wan!

Oh my word, been there, done that, but my nosedive down a flight of stairs featured several fractures to my left foot, a bunged up left knee, thank goodness not that injury athletes have which requires surgery, and a bunged up left shoulder when I came to a stop at the railing on the first landing......
Are you sure your foot is not broken? Initially I was
convinced mine was a sprain too

I hope it's not :S But I can move it some and I would imagine that if it were broken I wouldn't be able to move it at all, or touch it, or even walk on it. But... I could be wrong.

Eep! :S

I was able to do all of that too.......in fact walked out to my car, okay hobbled out there, and drove myself to the ER
I was sure I had just sprained it and did not believe it till he whips out the X-ray.
Despite fractures, the biggest problem was the damage I did to my left leg, knee and shoulder.........but thankfully no broken neck as the doctors at ER warned me could have happened........or broken hip. I am still trying to figure out how I ended up on my back with my left foot hooked in the arm railing on staircase
I mean I fell forward with railing on right???
