I fell down the stairs...

Comment Published at 02:1302:1323 comments23 comments44 Visits44 VisitsReport

As I was leaving work today, I tripped on the one of the top stairs and fell all the way down the flight of stairs.  By some miracle I didn't hit my head, but I damaged my knee and it's pretty sore.  I'm feeling pretty strange though - maybe it's just shock.  I'm not sure.

My computer power cord is completely broken and the batteries dead so I can't use my computer to get online at the moment. I miss it!  BF is trying to get me a replacement part, but we're having trouble as it looks like its been discontinued.  I really hope we find one!  I like my own computer with my own savings and settings...

Re: I fell down the stairs...

Glad to hear apart from the knee and the computer you're ok! Take it easy on the knee - they can be fussy things if they dont get lots of TLC! Hope the computer parts can be got and fitted fine - it's annoying how fast things go obselete with computers, isnt it?

And how badly were the stairs hurt?  lol.  Hope your knee is ok, and yes, you were very lucky to not hit your head.  You are probably feeling strange due to the fact you almost turned into a washing machine!

Bummer about your computer.  I have to use the system recovery disk to start mine a lot these days, but at least Les can get it started!  Hope you are having a good weekend.

LOL!  I wish I could say that I gave the stairs as good as I got!  But no, they got the best of me instead.

Hey!! Not good at all,take it easy dear Lady you could have hurt more than you realize.  How are your ribs and neck ?...if you don't feel well please get checked.   As for the computer,you're a smart one maybe you'll have to break in a new computer,you'll love it too after you make it your own!

Re: I fell down the stairs...

I'm quite impressed with myself that I managed to fall so that my legs took all the fall rather than any other part o1f me.  Ribs and neck are fine.  I didn't even use my hands to stop my fall  I wish there were camera footage of it, cause I would love to have seen how I managed it!  If there were, we could have entered it on Funniest Home Videos!

So far I'm hoping to resurrect my old computer, but if I need to replace it, I'll need to salvage some stuff off my old one.  Fingers crossed that I can manage it either way!

I think it would be shock. I have done the same and landed on my tailbone. I was a bit shaken too. Hope your knee is ok.

Hope you can fix your computer. Withdrawal symtoms are tough lol

I think it was shock.  It just threw me cause it just didn't seem to go away the night I did it.  Thankfully after a good sleep I felt (emotionally) better.  I think the knee will take a bit longer.

Oh Leith

What a scare, did you know that Heather (Exquisite Flower) had almost the exact same fall and hurt her leg a few weeks ago ???

Take care of yourself and I hope you get the computer sorted too

Hi honey,

I am so glad that you are okay after such a big fall but it does sound as though you are in a little bit of shock. Please take care of yourself and if you are not feeling better go and see your doctor . .

As for you computer parts please pm me as to what it is your are after as my bro can get just about anything as he is in the comp business . . There are many Minti mums who are active online now because of his GREAT help . .

Cheers Kellz

Re: I fell down the stairs...

Thanks Kellz!

I felt better the next day - definitely from an emotional perspective, but my knee was still sore.  It's pretty much doing what I would expect so I haven't gone to a doctor yet (plus its the weekend) but I may very well make an appt early next week, just to make sure there's nothing untoward.

We've orderd the part and are waiting on it now.  But if this company doesn't come through, I'll definitely pm you the details.  Thanks heaps for the offer!

Re: I fell down the stairs...

I'm embarassed to say that the weight loss has gone backwards... I know there's no real excuse, but in my case I'm blaming uni.  I've just found it really hard to fit in time to exercise or to even eat properly when I've been bouncing from work to kids to uni.  I need to find a better way...

It's just under 9 months until I do, so I really have to get cracking on that.
