I live with my DD and her family and its an old farm house with very narrow stairs. Monday night I slipped coming down the steps and hit the side of my forehead on the corner of an antique stereo/radio, knocked my glasses off and I landed on my right side with my right arm out behind me. An immediate knot the size of a walnut appeared along with a bruise. Well yesterday my right shoulder, neck, right wrist all kind of ached, so I spent a lot of my time on the couch watching QVC..........B-I-G mistake, I ended up buying a pair of jeans, a shirt and some make up. Geesh I cant afford to be hurt anymore.
Today the swelling is down but the bruise is a beautiful shade of purple and the stiffness and soreness is mostly subsided, good thing another day on the couch watching QVC and I would need a bailout from Uncle Sam.

Owe Beverly!!
I have a very narrow stairwell too. falling is my greatest fear...esp on the stairs!! i hope you are better soon!
Ps: when we were in the trailer i had a fall...naked in the master bath. Dh still shakes his head. I called it my tripple sow cow (like the skating move). In the fall i was grabbing for something and managed to get a towel. Not good for the fall...but always wondered what wold have happened if it was worse and i was naked and the kids found me?? Well that , i am sure would have turned them right off having kids LOL
So lay down and taqke it easy ....you need to rest!
Wow Beverly - you are lucky you didn't break anything - like an arm or a leg.
Granny to Caleb and Scotia
Sorry to hear this about your fall hon,
Had to LOL about the shopping though
Sure hope you're healing & feeling better today :)
Bottom line .. that was a very silly thing to do
Hey .. hope you are feeling a whole lot better by now.
{{hugs}}
The stairs are exactly as you describe, good thing I did not break anything that I would be laid up with for a while, I would definitely be broke.
