I fell down the stairs today. I think it was probably 4 stairs. Head/face first. I was talking on the phone to DH and was wearing my orange flippy shoes with the point heel, so I guess they probably got stuck. I screamed as I was falling and of course everything went flying...they are like marble stairs and a very hard floor. I ended with my head against the wall and my shoes off. I was hoping neither of the neighbors would pop their head out their door. I was a floor down and there are 2 that live there. I was soooooooo annoyed. I dropped my phone and it was in pieces and my carrot soup that I was carrying splashed on the wall, floor and my white skirt. I was headed to the brithday breakfast. DH called me back and asked what happened...I was crying in pain still laying on the ground! I was afraid I had a concussion, but I don't think so. I also was worried that my ankle was sprained, but I think it is just bruised. The fronts of my ankles were all scraped and there was a tiny bit of blood on my knee. I think I landed on my right side, because that shoulder, elbow and hip hurt, plus a big bruise on my calf...

Traumatic fall
Here is my story of my fall...I had a huge, painful bruise right under my knee and my side hurt for about a week. I have had some headaches this week and I am wondering if it was from the fall? Or just lack of sleep. I hope it is the later! My shoulder also been hurting...I figure if I ignore it, it will get better :)
