Owie, owie, owie, owie…
Okay. I Fell. Down. The. Stairs.
Can you believe it? Here I am, 39 years old – supposedly in my prime – and I fall down the stairs? What is with that? I mean, little kids fall downstairs and get boo-boos. Old ladies fall downstairs and get artificial hips.
But noooooo…I fall downstairs and get bruised from head-to-toe and shaken up like a frikkin’ martini!
Check out the bruise on my left arm:
And that’s taken right after the fall…it hasn’t even had a chance to fully incubate yet. There is a matching bruise on my right arm, my right thumb joint is bruised and swollen (how? not sure), my left foot is swollen and then the prize-winning bruise is on my bum. But I won’t post a picture of that one (although it is magnificent) because I just don’t need pictures of my naked bum on the internet, if you know what I mean!
The staircase in question (kinda helps explain the fall AND the bruises…):
Anyway, I took homeopathic arnica and put arnica cream on all the bruises. Hopefully that will help a bit with the swelling, and I took an Advil as well (picked up quite a banger of a headache in the aftermath).
Wish me well!




ouch!
yikes!
hope it’s not too painful, Kath!
Um, yowch honey. That staircase beat you UP!
Poor thing. Be gentle with yourself to help you feel better.
