Stairs of Terror
The title of this post fits right in with the season! Earlier this week, I fell down the stairs while I was holding Lillian. I have always been afraid of this happening, and was shocked when it occurred while there were no other distractions while I was on the stairs. The dog wasn’t in the way, I wasn’t on my phone, I wasn’t carrying additional things, I had my contacts in! I was literally just carrying Lillian and walking down the stairs like a normal person. I got near the bottom of the stairs, and my left foot slipped out in front of me, and down I went. Lillian immediately started crying and I started crying because I was terrified of what could have happened to her. She calmed down after a couple of minutes and I laid her down to check her out. Thankfully, she seemed fine and was laughing and cooing during her inspection. Once I was sure that she was okay, my body was in pain! Clearly I had cushioned Lillian during the fall. This week I have been incredibly sore from my left foot, all the way up to the right side of my neck – OUCH!

Lisa,
I am sorry to hear about your fall. This happened to me over 13 years ago and although I wasn’t holding him at the time, then very young nephew gave me a look like maybe I shouldn’t let you carry me.
I hope you quickly recover.
