Help! I Have Fallen Down the Stairs and Can't Stop Laughing!

True Story!  We are on our way to see Uncle Roger and Aunt Polly in Texas and decided to stay at Days Inn in Los Lunas New Mexico.  Many of you will remember that town with great fondness as that is the sacred town that we acquired Buddy in.  We even went to Walmart and took a picture from the parking lot where I first laid my one good eye on him.  Awww.

Back to the stairs...Kirk was in front of me carrying our bags, fortunately, or I would have actually hit the floor instead of the one stair above the floor.  He did comment that while he was glad he could stop me there on the last stair he was a little disappointed that he wasn't actually behind me to watch the whole thing:)

I have gone through this scenario in my mind a million times....what would I do if I fell down the stairs, in a public place, where people were present?  I had decided long ago that I would giggle.  And I did.  A lot!  In fact, still giggling just thinking how funny it must have looked as I tumbled around holding on to the railing with my right arm the whole time.

Lots of bumps and bruises, aches and pains.  Kirk did have me take some ibuprofen asap so that should help along the way.  We did choose to go elsewhere for breakfast since this incident happened right outside the breakfast room and a couple of people came running to help.  We went to Denny's and Kirk lovingly suggested the Grand Slam breakfast as a way of continuing the great start to the day:) He is so thoughtful.....and dang funny!

P.S......I am still giggling as I rub my aching shoulder:)

I thought that kind of thing only happened to me! I feel your pain (and your giggles). Try not to do any more damage before you come home!

Glad the damage was minimal and you can still enjoy your trip. It's nice that we can look back and laugh at our funny little experiences!
