Stairs are Evil ™
I spent the weekend trying to cleanup the apartment after unboxing alot of stuff. I figure we’ve left Rhianna in Meridian long enough, and it’s time to see how she likes the apartment for a while. So I unboxed, & picked up, and vacummed all weekend. That is, until Sunday Morning.
Around noon, I had just finished vacuuming upstairs and was on my way down the stairs. I had the Kenmore Upright Vacuum (not the exact picture, but close) in one hand, and a trash bag with junk, including a full vacumm bag, in the other. I only had 4 steps to go when I missed a step, got tangled in the slightly-too-long leg of my pants, and went rolling.
Few seconds later I was laying in the hallway (yep, down the stairs, around the corner, and plop) screaming bloody murder thinking I must’ve broken my ankle. It hurt soooo bad. I was just thinking of how was I going to get to a phone to dial 911, I was all alone in the apartment. After a few minutes the pain subsided enough for me to wipe the tears from my eyes and look. No blood, no protrusions, and I could still feel my toes. I could wiggle my foot, and I could stand on it without too much pain. Flexing it hurt like hell, but I could manage.
So, long story short, I sprained/twisted the hell out of it. It’s sore, bruised, and swollen, but not broken (best we can tell). I’m gonna give it a day or so, and see if the swelling goes down on it own. If not, then I’ll be going to the ER anyway.
So, moral of the story? Always vacuum without pants I guess… What else can I do?
