fell down the stairs

Got my boys up and gave them a bath... I was holding my 1-year old and getting ready to go downstairs for my mom to watch so I could get a shower and when I turned to get my 2 year-olds hand my foot slipped and I fell backwards down the stairs holding my youngest. down an entire flight of wooden stairs. my son bit his tongue but otherwise is okay. I bruised up my whole left shoulder and arm, my left elbow, pulled osmehting in my neck, bruise dmy left hip, gouged by left shin fro my knee to my ankle, strained my first and 2nd toe of my left foot and cut my right ankle... I'm a friggin MESS... thank God I wasn't holding my 2 year-olds hand I would have pulle dhim down with us.

so I'm laying at the bottom of the stairs the wind knocked out of me and the firts thing I think is "where's Luke is Luke okay??" he was over my head and his mouth was bleeding my 2nd thought was "will my husband be able to use this against me in any way?" the 3rd thing I thought was "am I okay?"

pissed off that I thought of how my husband could use my accident against me before I even wondered if I had any broken bones.

Thank God you are ok Jessica! Make sure you take care of yourself and make sure you wear shoes that have some traction on the stairs. So glad the kids are ok as well!

Ouch!!! I'm so sorry you got so hurt this morning....maybe you need to get checked out my a dr or at a walk in clinic if you feel you may need something .....

I hope you will be okay.... I know that was scary to experience... I slipped and scooted all the way down some carpeted stairs before in athletic pants and I was so embarrassed because I was at a friend's house and the stairs lead to the living room where her husband and my husband were talking and saw the whole thing...I felt bruised but I was totally laughing even though I hurt!

Oh my! I'm sorry you took a plunge like that. I'm glad you are both ok. Boys are sturdy and he probably won't remember tomorrow what happened to him today. You on the other hand will feel the aches and pains for a few days but then just be thankful that nothing is broken. My prayers go out to you that you aren't in too much pain with your bumps and bruises.

How scary! Im glad you & your son are ok. Accidents happen it in no way can be used against u by your husband, honestly one of my biggest worries was tripping/falling down the stairs while holding one of my kids-bc it could so easily happen-my dog loves to go right under my feet-so i have almost fallen several times.

Someday I'll fly away.

Also dont be mad at yourself for thinking could my husband use this against me before thinking am i ok----i think it reflects more on what kind of person he is right now.

Someday I'll fly away.

thanks guys... I'll think that i'm confident then i get a thought like that and it pisses me off.

court date today for my lawyer i guess it's just to get the final court date scheduled... i hope nothing suprising happens.

I was about to do something awesome again, but I told myself, "Enough is enough! That's plenty of awesome for one day."

Yikes! I'm so glad you're both ok. Isn't it funny that we ask ourselves (in a moment that we're not proud of) "how will this come back to bite me?" before feeling lucky that the situation wasn't worse?! It kind of makes sense though because in that moment we feel insecure about ourselves. You sure are a good mom though. What matters most is that your first thought was taking care of what you love! As a person who is "the fixer" in almost every relationship, taking care of me is always last too. It's not the worst way to be :)

That sounds like it must have been really scary while it was happening. Did you get checked out by a doctor?
