ow

i just took a header down the stairs.

i had some people over last night, probably had a little too much red wine. went to bed. got up, and the leg hurts more than usual. crutch my way to the stairs, and head down.

near the bottom, i wasnt paying attention and my crutch slipped off of the stair. my full weight came down on my hurt leg and i sank to the floor. fire lept up from my left knee and ripped up the inside of my leg. i pushed up with the right leg and came full standing pulling my left thigh up chest high with my lower leg and calf dangling there in twisted pain.

i shrieked and made a slow motion collapse to the stairs, trying to extend my left leg. open open open slow slow slow slow every half-inch of movement of my foot sent a continuous wave of screaming ripped flesh up my leg and back.

i felt the chilling sweats of shock overtake me and as my vision collapsed into itself, my body slid down the steps to the lower landing.

i woke with my face pressed against the wall and my left leg curled up underneath me, now fully engulfed in some sort of cellular burn screaming at my brain to do something. i dragged myself out with my arms, pulling my body over the floor trying to gain my full length and straighten that leg. the floor is cool and i am glad as the burn has taken my head and i sweat shake cold through the tremors of post shock.

i'll just lay here a moment.

hmm. i need to sweep.
