I am the queen of clumsy. I told my DH that the likelihood of me dying due to falling was high and it had better not end up in my obituary.
Many years ago, we lived in a split level. I was heading down stairs and didn’t bother turning on the light. Well, apparently, my then 6 year old son thought that the landing was a great place to leave his shoes. When I stepped onto the landing, my right foot came down on his shoe and twisted. As my left foot came down, I stepped on the freaking other shoe and I twisted it as well. I saw stars and blackness. I swear I think I passed out for a minute due to the extreme pain. It took many minutes before I CRAWLED back up the landing to the couch. As I had a new baby at home, I had to call my husband at work. Turns out I didn’t rupture my Achilles but I strained them both. The doctor said he would have given me crutches but since it was both, there was not much he could do. Lol.
Graceful will never be a word attributed to me. Lol
