ouch

After living in a 3rd floor apartment for over 4 months I finally fell down the stairs!! I normally change out of my work clothes and heels before taking the dogs out, but yesterday I wanted to catch the beginning of bones, so I figured I would just change afterwards. Well, I was being careful on the stairs since I was in big heels and a large open cuff on my pants, so I was really caught off guard when it happened. Jaska was walking next to me (annie was ahead on her retractable leash), and Jaska's paw got caught in the cuff of my pants as I was in the middle of a step, so my foot came out of my shoe, I feel to my knees, and then skidded (on my knees) down 7 or 8 hard concrete block stairs - all the while trying to stop myself but making sure I didnt let go of either dog - who were both a little freaked out by the comotion and needed to go, so they just kept pulling me down the stairs faster!!
So, I will have some nice bruisers on my legs and feet, have some cuts on my feet and hands, and have a very swollen left knee, so Ive been hobbling around the office today. Im gonna see how it feels tomorrow and possibly get to the doctor in the morning before work. Hopefully its just swollen and bruised (the bruise is starting to really come out), my only concern is it was swollen minutes after the fall, which evidently is not a good sign, but I am staying positive because I walk a lot and walk on a lot of stairs all the time. If I go to the doctor and have news Ill update you, otherwise assume I got lucky and its nothing big!!
