If you haven't heard....

Thought I broke my back on Friday afternoon.

I was carrying a box down the stairs and slipped on the 4th step from the bottom and landed square on my spine at the corner of a step with my head hitting right after knocking the wind out of me.

I was not able to move for a few minutes but eventually was able to crawl to get the phone and call my husband which lead him to call 911 and his parents who were all at the house in a matter of minutes. Both ambulances and firetrucks showed up. Was immediately rushed to the ER since I could hardly move. Very scary and was/is in a crazy amount of pain with breathing problems on top of it. Got what I consider okay news but not the best.... nothing broken but sprained and bruised ribs, kidneys and along my spine. Basically to sum it all up..... PAINFUL!!

Unfortunately I won't be getting out of bed for quite a while. Every time I try to move its so excruciating I can barely keep the tears from flowing and I'm pretty hardcore LoL.

Anyway, just wanted to share with all you guys. Prayers are welcome!

Sorry to hear that Liz. Sucks more than usual since riding season is winding down. Hopefully you heal fast so you can get out and ride some. Glad nothing more serious then bumps and bruises. Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Wow; I hadn't heard. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank God it wasn't more serious. I hope you have a quick recovery.

Happy to hear it wasn't more serious than some bruises from a fall like that. Sounds like you may be sore for a while. Get to healing!

That sucks I hope you feel better soon =( kidney shots are the best they will pretty much drop anyone for a good couple of minutes and having lots of back muscles the best way to defend against that unfortunately you not a bit bigger :-/

damn woman, that's messed up. I hope you start to feel better soon. I know how hard bruised ribs can be to deal with, just breathing can be painful.

You got lucky in your unlucky situation, I hope you recover very quickly and there is no lasting issues.
