Falling off a pet stool..NOT a good thing to try...

kitten251984: Ok, so this is what happened...I was sound asleep, in my apartment, when i was awoken by this really loud beeping noise. Still half asleep i looked around, and couldnt work out where the sound was coming from, and thought maybe it was my smoke alarm, so i got up, went to the closet to get a broom, and the first thing i saw to stand on cos we didn't have a stool was the set of dog pet stairs. Now not thinking, I climbed up, tried to press the smoke alarm button and was able to do so, but it had a different sound, so I was confused for a minute and then realized it wasn't the smoke alarm. My footing slipped and i fell off the top of the pet stairs, they snapped in two and my leg slammed straight into the side of the stairs. Laying on the floor, prying my leg from the stairs, I managed to get up and limp to the front door, open it, and all the emergency exit doors were closed, Only THEN did i realize it was the apartments fire alarm, so I grabbed my two dogs, and put a jacket on and shoes and ran out my apartment outside..My leg and back still hurting like hell by this point but i was trying to walk normally even though i was limping i didn't want anyone to know I had had an accident..
I emailed my husband as soon as we were all allowed back in, and checked my leg, which by this point was beginning to bruise considerably. I ended up with a fist size black bruise on my calf, AND at the base of my back where i hit the floor..This bruise didn't go away for about a month, and i couldn't walk properly..I put arnicare on, and elevated it incase of swelling etc..
Even now, like 3 months later u can still see a slight mark where the bruise was but it no longer hurts

THIS IS WHY DO NOT EVER CLIMB PET STAIRS ..THEY ARE ONLY FOR 60LBS MAX AND IM LIKE 155LBS (WASN'T THINKING AT THE TIME..LOL) BUT I CAN TELL U ONE THING....IT HURTS LIKE A MOTHER FCKR
