Yesterday afternoon, I started downstairs with a glass in one hand and a mug in the other. My steps are hardwood and I was wearing socks. When I got down to the second step from the bottom, my feet went out from under me and I fell, VERY HARD, on my back. The pain was really excrutiating. I actually thought I was going to pass out, because my vision was going black, there, for a few seconds, and I broke into a sweat all over my body.
Eventually, I made my way back upstairs, very, very slowly, because each step was so painful. I got into bed, and pretty much had to stay there until this morning. I can now get around, slowly, and it's very much less painful, but there'll be no unnecessary exercise for a least another day or two, because I'm still very sore and stiff. Lesson learned: never go up and down the stairs in socks (especially while holding something in both hands)!
By the way, I'm going to weigh tomorrow, one day early, because I won't get the chance to weigh again for a few weeks. I'm leaving, tomorrow afternoon, to go spend the holiday time with my folks in NC. I have a freezer stocked with legal foods that I'm taking with me -- and I promise, no matter how much anyone coaxes (even ol' Aunt Mahetebel!) that I won't give into the goodies.
I'll still be on the board every day. Mom has wireless broadband, and I'm taking my laptop with me.
