Yours is sexier than my injury. I was carrying shit down the stairs. I miscounted, and my right foot hit the edge of the bottom step, before all 236lbs collapsed, and somehow slid sideways and smacked the back of my head against the wall. It’s been two months and it still hurts first in the morning and when I’ve walked too much. Coworkers were saying “did you go to the doc?” Like I can afford that! I’m on a pay as you go, I ain’t going but for meds!

While i don't feel very sexy with a cast on my leg, I'm lucky I didn't smash my back or skull, with the laundry I would have had a cushion.

I I live in a place I don't have to pay an insane amount for medical care. For rn it's 94 euro, and we haven't checked if my insurance will cover any, but hopefully they will.

Through, really when you can get your head checked, it's one thing to break a toe, and a completely other if you have a fracture in your skull or something. Good luck!

Oh, dude, I hurt like fudge, but I felt up my ankle and nothing felt out of line, so I just finished throwing out the trash and took the stairs one at a time. I got yelled at a lot, but the hell was I supposed to do? Materialize a support person?

I wish. I’ve had to hobble up and down stairs for two months and it’s still not healed, but if I say anything they’re going to say go to the doc.

If you have been hobbling it might be for the best, if you have done damage, you could be making it worse and more expensive to fix in the future

Shhhshhhshhshh! My insurance jacked up everything so now I’m pay as I go with a prepay plan. I put in 120. They put in 45, and my meds are 150. I no longer have a doc, but hopefully the don’t cost more than $90!
