Hey y'all. How is everyone?
So today I fell down the stairs from my apartment complex. No, we do not live on the second floor, we live on the first. But this morning around 4 AM we heard a cat crying loudly. My mom and I woke up and I told her I would check what it was. It was the neighbor's cat.
We are friends with this neighbor but we know that he goes to bed early because he wakes up early to work. I thought I would be a good neighbor and give his cat water since that is why she was crying. Plus I couldn't let her parch, right? Anyways, I go back down the stairs, filled her bowl up with water, then go back up and give it to her (which she right away starts drinking) and as I'm coming down I miss a step and I fall all the way down from the first step, hitting my head on the rail. It was horrible!
I landed face down on the cement and it was dirty, dark, and scary. I couldn't move! So I had to start yelling "mom" "Adam," hoping that either my mom or brother would hear me. They wouldn't come and I wondered if anyone else could hear me. I was afraid I had broken something. I tried to get up but I couldn't. My nose was bleeding. I tried to move and crawl but my right leg wasn't working right. It was cold outside too.
I started crying (from the pain) and hoped that maybe someone else would come out and help me. I was there for about 30 minutes, praying. I asked God to please help me and bring my mom or brother out. I was really scared to be outside by myself and I didn't even know if I had cracked my skull or if I was bleeding. All I knew was that my back and head were really hurting me. Finally, after those 30 minutes my mom came out! She called my brother and they both helped me up and into our apartment.
I went to the doctor and they told me I sprained my back and tore ligaments on my leg. My head received a hit with the rail but it didn't bleed internally however, I did have a bleeding wound.
I've been on pain meds today and I slept like all day! LOL Now that I'm awake I wanted to share my story with you guys. Apparently my mom had fallen back to sleep and she suddenly woke up after those 30 minutes. I know it was the Lord telling her to get up and help me.
It was scary and kind of embarrassing because I didn't want to be found like that by someone else. I'm happy no one else saw me. LOL Falling down the stairs...that's really embarrassing!
I know it was just 30 minutes but when you're lying in pain like that on cement, with your face down, it seems like forever! I think God was trying to teach me patience.
I also find it miraculous that I came out of it without any broken bones! God it so good!
I'm still in some pain but I'm just grateful to God for all the blessings that I have. It made me think of how blessed I am for having a mom and brother who take care of me, for having health insurance (b/c I know many don't) and for knowing the Lord and being able to go to him in times of need or whenever really.
I'm also thankful that my teachers understood my absence today and for the rest of the week. Praise Jesus.
So I just wanted to share my story with you guys. It's all good now don't worry. I am blessed. Do you have any 'falling down the stairs' stories? I would like to hear them!
