I'm on a long anticipated holiday in Cornwall - one of my favourite parts of the world. Visited the Eden Project today but managed to slip on some wooden edged steps (April showers). As I was carrying my youngest daughter at the time I could only let myself fall and I cracked my spine so hard on the steps I couldn't move or feel my legs for a while afterwards. My whole rib cage ached. Daughter unscathed except for the shock.
A couple of passers by asked if I was OK and I managed to sit upright and regain feeling in their company. I now have a massive bruise across my back and expect to stiffen up overnight.
Half an hour after the fall, I was OK again and enjoying the day but there was a moment where I thought I had broken my back so if all I suffer is a bruise and stiffness, I'll count it as a blessing.
PS - limited internet access - can read but can't tweet etc.
OMG! Hope you are ok...that sounds awful. Hope the bruising is as bad as it gets and you can enjoy the rest of your holiday. Sx
