I warned you about stairs bro
Nov. 19th, 2011 10:17 amI am at my parents'! For a week! Today I am going to the wedding of a high school friend! Hurrah for vacation!
Except. um.
The first thing I did when I got home was to carry my bags upstairs to the bedroom I grew up in. And then on the way back I... kind of fell down the stairs a little? Like maybe 8 of them, roughly the second half of the stairwell?
It was a mostly-controlled fall--I grabbed the bannisters a lot. I didn't actually lose control until the very end, and even then I sort of twisted around a bit so I didn't go all the way down to the floor but stopped on the third stair up. I don't seem to have twisted or broken anything is the important part \o/
But, yeah. I took the brunt of the landing on my kneecap, and it is, unshockingly, stiff, sore, and still a bit swollen.
Sigh. I hope there is lots of sitting at this wedding.
