ok ouch...
« on: Thu, 11 December 2014, 11:05:23 »
i just went to walk down some stairs and i slipped when stepping off the first stair and rode the whole flight of stairs down on my ass.  i tried to catch myself kind of tweaked my arm in the process.  the arm is actually what hurts more than anything.  kind of a numbness in my shoulder and my finger tips are tingling.  :(  back and butt is bruised but the arm is what is causing me the most discomfort.

words of wisdom: be careful in socks at the top of hardwood stairs...  haha...

Dude, so sorry. Butt is worst part to get hurt; you can't sit, lay only on tummy, taking a crap is gosh awful.

Hope you recover soon!

Ya, I was able to save the tailbone, so I did not bruise that.  THANK GOD!!!  Bruising the tailbone is SOO painful.  In catching myself so I didn't land square on the tailbone I tweaked my arm, so that took the brunt of the fall.  I think I walked away with about the minimal damage I could expect, so I am lucky...

Once happened to me when there was 6-8 stairs left, with my kid in my arms. Managed to act as a cushion for my kid. While I was happy to protect my kid, my back didn't thank me for this move!


Yea, socks and wooden stairs can get quite slippery! More so with new wooden stairs! Glad you are not more hurt man!

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I once saw a TV documentary about an old government archive house that had a slide beside the staircase. The slide was not for people - but for books, to get them out quickly in case of fire.

You may have pinched a nerve. If you're still tingling/numb, see a doctor.

Also, feel better.

I think I have recovered. Arm is feeling better now and no more tingling. I might have some bruises tomorrow, but I am not having any lasting symptoms. #lucky

You're good. Protip: Take acetaminophen and not ibuprofen. Ibuprofen thins the blood, and can make your bruises a lot worse.

Good tip.  I usually stay away from that stuff if I can.  I tend to use Arnica for bruises and such.  It works really well and is just applied topically...

be careful with your hands. they are your work instruments.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
