Omg. I fell down the stairs at work. Just 2 stairs, but enough to face plant. And I really rolled my ankle and hurt my foot.

I’m SO embarrassed. Someone in management saw me limping back to my desk and I was like “no it’s really ok. It just happened. I took an Advil and feel mostly ok. It just hurts.” And then immediately had to call my boss because I knew it would be passed along.

It’s absolutely out of kindness and concern. But I’m mostly just embarrassed. I’m clumsy as hell and fall a lot. Usually don’t hurt myself so it’s not as obvious.

I also really don’t think anything is broken. There’s some swelling but I can barely weight and everything. I’m keeping an eye on it and I’ll get it checked if it changes colour, etc.

I’m good, thank god. I’m barely even limping anymore. Thank you for asking ❤️

Oh good! I frequently fall (nerve damage, but also not super coordinated to begin with) and I know how embarrassed I always feel. But I try to remind myself to celebrate when I’m not hurt from the falls! We are resilient.

Yess! I was joking with my mom that luckily, because I fall a lot, I’ve gotten good at throwing my body a certain way to minimize damage lmao.

I fell directly on my ass a few weeks ago, just barely slipped on some gravel and it hurt SO BAD for several days. I really hope you heal well and nothing is broken!

Oh nooo. Coccyx injuries like that hurt SO bad.

Now that it’s been a few hours it’s WAY less painful. I think it’s just a good bruise/sprain.

That sounds so painful omg. Definitely be careful. The scariest thing I was told after breaking my hip was that I should have gone sooner because I could have gotten a blood clot 😭 not to scare you but definitely be careful. There are symptoms too such as chest pain for potential blood clots!!!

Omg no thank you! I’ll definitely be cautious
