Another Fall

This must be the week for falling down stairs.  Fortunately this time it was not Andy or Jack or Natty. That's right, I stepped up and took the fall this evening.  It was at the Brick House and it was two steps at the back door.  It was wet outside because of snow falling, well more like a rain/snow mix at that point.  Anyhow, I stepped out for a second and then upon returning inside my foot hit the middle step and didn't stop moving.  It shot straight out and I was airborne.  There was nothing I could do, I was going down fast.  I bashed my back hard on the ground and kicked a co2 tank but somehow managed to not crack my head on the stairs behind me. I'm not sure how I didn't bash my head, seems like it should have happened and with as fast as I went down it could have been a painful blow.  Didn't happen.  I was in a bit of a heap on the floor though.  Lots of pain in my body.  Dave gave me a hand up and I walked it off.  I'm feeling some slight pain in my back and did rip up my left arm a bit but nothing else too bad at this point.  I am feeling lucky.  Hopefully I don't have major pain setting in tonight whilst I sleep.  Hopefully we have met our fall quota for the next while.  It just isn't fun. Very grateful that damage is minimal.
