Unfortunately, this has happened to me more than I care to remember. I blame it on having steep stairs. Oh dear, I hope you recovered well!

Your eye looks disgusting and PAINFUL! Is it bad that you made me feel better? Chris at TheSnackHound -- Hey, wear that crown proudly. You deserve it. And I don't want that creepy guy anywhere near me. Jen -- That's the best way to handle a fall, provided you are not bleeding or have a bone sticking straight out of your skin. Barb -- I swear to God, I read about a beach falling accident. Don't make me look it up. Dorothy Stahlnecker -- Me too! I need that head, full of air as it is. Maitri -- Thank you for the recommendation. I'm slightly concerned that I still have a minor bulge there. It's sensitive when I press on it and I'm strangely disappointed I don't have a bruise there. It should be black as night by now. Data Entry Services - I did. Slap up the head, right? Chris Casey -- Awesome. Are you still going to go back to <i>that</i> gym, because you KNOW they'll remember it forever. Little Scarf Girl -- Um, no. I can guarantee he won't forget. But it's weird that I haven't talked to him since. Is he avoiding me or am I avoiding him? Mike -- OMG. I'm so sorry. I'm laughing at what that must have looked like. I'm most sorry you lost what was probably $12 popcorn. OUCH! publette -- OK, I'm headed over. There can't be enough falling stories in the blogosphere, I always say. Momo Fali -- And your story today makes you a better person than me. I've never had hives and I never want to now, the way you described and survived that. I was in such pain reading your post. Better yet? Lisa -- We faller-uppers must stick together. I still have a bulge on the knee, which concerns me a wee bit. But every day it gets better and better, thank God. Suzy — Oh my freaking God!

Coincidentally, this past Saturday night, I took my son to see <i>Planet 51</i> at our local movie theater. To make a long story short, I was sitting in a seat at the aisle. I stood up so someone else could get into our row. The house lights were still on in the theater as we were there early. I moved to my right and tripped on a step and fell on top off the next step--<i>going up!</i> After my popcorn landed all over me, my son offered to help me up; and then I sat back down, red-faced, and annoyed at myself for being so clumsy. As for your husband Dave's response to your fall, be nice to him. My wife laughed--hard--and was disappointed that she was not there to witness me tumbling down--I mean up-- a flight of stairs. So, you're not the only person to accomplish this feat. Once again, I hope you're okay. Oh, and one more thing--<i>way to go, Kathy!</i> lol. -Mike. .-= Michael J.

Your local health food store or chiropractor should have it. Boiron is the best one and you can get it cheap at vitacost.com where I buy all of my health food needs. It works like a miracle. I fell, hard, on concrete on my knee a few days ago. Looked like a baseball. I put the arnica gel on it immediately and several times a day. Clear, not sticky, a homeopathic miracle. Almost no pain or bruising. Seriously, you should try it. Most of the people I know feel it is essential to have at all times. I usually buy 4 tubes at once.
