Yesterday was going so well, then I went to go downstairs to get a coffee, my sock seemed to skid sideways on one of the top steps, and the next thing I know, my feet are up in the air and I'm thinking "this is really going to hurt".
I was right.
I was sort of lucky, as I came down, my arm caught on the start of the banister, which flipped me just enough I landed on left hip and ribs, and my head didn't actually make contact. On the other hand, I have a sort of carpet-burn on steroids, starting in the crease of my right elbow, an inch wide, and running two inches down my forearm. It just broke the skin, but was still leaking odd spots of blood several hours later. The air may have turned blue afterwards....
I've been popping painkillers to keep it under control, and this morning my left hip is sore and my arm stings a little, but overall it could have been much worse.
And the day had been going so well.
I was right.
