When we built our house, we upgraded to hardwood steps. We've always had carpet before but had always wanted hardwood. When Carter is wearing his socks or footed pajamas, I always remind him to go slow and hold on when he's going downstairs so he doesn't slip. Too bad I didn't take the same advice!
Yesterday afternoon I was carrying Carter downstairs after his nap. I had him on my left hip (the same side as the railing). I was wearing socks and somehow, on the last step, my heal slipped off. I fell on my back hitting the front edges of the bottom two steps. Because I was holding Carter, I wasn't able to catch myself at all. I really thought I broke my back for a few minutes. It's gotten better but I'm still in a lot of pain and have a lot of trouble picking up the boys to put them in their carseats or in bed. Sleeping was extremely uncomfortable but I managed to sleep some last night. Unfortunately this is going to make training for the marathon pretty hard! Hopefully things will improve soon!
