I didn't drop the crock pot or break any bones! I thought for sure there would be a hole in the wall, but apparently fate decided to scrape my elbow instead.
When I walk downstairs I have to look at the stair I'm stepping on next. I can't lift my head like a normal person and just know where the next step is. I seem to lose depth perception when going downstairs as well. This is one reason why downward escalators have always scared me. I have to stare at them for a few seconds, find the rhythm of that passing line break and then step. (Or I cling to my husband for dear life.)
When I was a little girl, I would cry if my mother tried to take me on the escalator. Around the same time I went through another phobia phase of elevators. My poor parents couldn't shop at department stores without stress.
This morning my elbow scrape is feeling better. Last night it felt like a burn, constantly stinging. My hip feels a little sore, so I'm guessing I either hit that as well against the wall, or when I landed on my left foot, the impact shock threw my hip out a little. I'm grateful I only fell from the 3rd stair up. Why I thought I couldn't let go of the crock pot mystifies me.

Oh my!! Glad you and the crock pot are okay!! Sure could have been a huge tragedy!!
I am so happy also you are okay. I have the same problem with stairs, I always have to look down and it makes it so difficult when you are carrying something like you were.
I hope the bruises feel better soon
hope you feel better Dawn, I am a chicken to get on escalators too....dont know why, but taking that first step, I always feel like it will drag me into the stairs...lol
Oh no! Glad you + crockpot are ok. I hate escalators too.
Glad you are OK. I am not so great on stairs myself...October 2008 missed the last three stairs. I was still limping by the end of the month when Mike and I married. I have issues with escalators too. :-( Hugs!
