I was doing water changes today and on my way down the stairs, with two buckets full of water, one of my feet slipped out from under me... I went feet-up and landed back first into the edge of one step before sliding down another two.... It hurt... a lot. lol

On top of that, one of the buckets hit a step so hard it broke, and sent water EVERYWHERE. :ROFL:

This is the same spot I landed on the tailgate of a truck on in a snowmobile accident a few years ago (from a six foot drop). I, apparently, wasn't injured very badly then and was basically told to "suck it up" despite bruising nearly every muscle in my lower back and barely being able to walk without letting out gasps of pain... Oh yeah, good times.





Just thought I'd share. I'm sitting here now with a heat pad on my back with nothing else to do. :D
 
Just take it easy, Rest and Ice. You dont want to do the heating pack so much. It promotes blood flow and that causes swelling.All though it feels so much better during and after but it causes more pain later and longer healing time. Just take some nsaid's (non-steriodal anti-inflamitory drugs) Aleve or Motrin. That will kinda help out a little...... This is what I tell my Marines when they get hurt.
Sorry to hear about the fall lol but your not the only one. I slipped and fell on the kitchen floor the other day doing a water change. This was me after I got myself together :ROFL::cry: oww lol
 
one word...PYTHON :D
 
at least you didnt try and reach into your 110gal tank then nearly fall into it :( i have to stand on a chair because im too short to reach it lol. then i lift a bucket up full of fish poop and its too heavy for me....so it falls backwards onto me and soaks me completely with dirty water!!!

you had it easy there...try washing that stuff out of your hair...it took me three washes to get the smell of hikari gold out of my hair! :(
