No, really... he didn't beat me, I really fell down the stairs

I just fell down the stairs. For real people! I was going down into the basement to change my laundry over... and on the second step... my foot slipped out right from under me... and I was thrown down the stairs... ALL of them. There isn't one step that my wrist, my tail bone, and my ankle did not slam against... all 16 of them. I was falling for so darn long, I had many thoughts like "gee I should really stop myself" and "oh my god I'm still rolling down the stairs, how many stairs do we have?!" I hit my head against the railing! At the landing at the bottom, I was so confused... what the hell? Did I really just fall down the stairs? Yup! I did, and in between groans of pain, I laughed my ass off. Cause seriously, who falls down all their stairs when they are 24 years old? So now my ankle is swollen, and my wrist is bruized and my butt... well since you asked, it is having some sort of muscle contractions from being beaten against 16 stairs! My shoulder hurts, my elbow is scraped.... I can't believe I fell down my stairs... then posted about it! But I'll be laughing about this one for a LONG while!

What a klutz! I hope I can MOVE tomorrow morning!

I hope you aren't hurting too much today, but it is funny too. :) I had to laugh reading the thoughts you were thinking as you were falling down the stairs. Too funny but I'm glad you didn't break in half or anything.
