So anyway, I was going downstairs to take a shower a couple days ago, and as I got to the bottom of the stairs, you know how in those older houses the air vents hang down from the ceiling? Well, as I rounded the corner, in a hurry, never a good thing, I slammed into the side of the air vent full force and it knocked me completely on my ass. Once I got my bearings, my head huet like hell, but then I felt this really warm sensation on the side of my head. Uh-Oh. I put my hand on it, looked at it and it was covered with blood. I applied a towel to it and went to the hospital where the doctor informed me that I had a lovely 2 inch gash on the side of my head!

He fixed it up with 4 stitches and I went home. I've been pretty much out of commision for a couple days, but I'm still alive!

My head is still kinda pounding, but they didnt diagnose me with a concussion at the ER.

Ow! Take it easy for a bit.

Yeah that sucks. Glad you're okay. I feel down the stairs a few weeks ago and had these HUGE bruises. It looked like someone took a couple of whacks at me with a baseball bat.

I looked at myself in the mirror before I cleaned myself up and I looked like something out of a Jason Movie.

Must've been scary!

I had a 6" x 4" bruise on my back right around my hip. Plus another about the same size on my left triceps. It was pretty crazy!

I HATE stairs...I've never fallen down them - but for some reason have always had an unatural fear of falling down stairs...the worst are the ones with spaces - so you can see behind them...scares the sh*t out of me

So thanks to adding to my unnatural fear....glad you didn't hurt yourself worse!!

I wouldn't admit it if it were a butterfly.
I'm ashamed I even admitted it to begin with

I've never hurt myself on stairs and am still overly cautious lol...one of my best friends lives on the third floor of a building with "see-through" stairs as I call them....he laughs at the insane amount of time it takes me to go down those things...and I'm completely weird about - NO ONE can be behind me or a freak out

I also witnessed a really bad stair accident in high school - maybe that's where my fear comes from
