Those Darn Stairs

To any of you who have been in my house and up my stairs you will have noticed something. The first section of the stairs are normal while the second section get considerably steeper. Don't ask me why. Whoever built this house must have measured wrong or something but the stairs are something you really need to get used to. Once you are used to them, normal stairs seem abnormal and I find myself being more cautious on them.
So Friday, I come home from a quick trip to the bank and before I run into the office I think to myself that it is quite hot in this house. I run upstairs to turn on the good old swamp cooler. On my way back down, I slip and fall. My right knee (the good knee) goes under my body and is forced out to the right side too far. I hear a feel a very loud pop and I am down for the count. Based on the fact that I had an eppidural with both boys, labor didn't feel this painful. I tried to get up but couldn't. I had seen my next door neighbor, my bishop, was in his driveway as I was coming home. I sent Asher over to get him. Asher proceeds to get to the curb and stop yelling at the top of his lungs "BISHOP". I kept yelling for him to go get the bishop. He yelled back that a car was coming. (Wow, he listened all those time I told him to look both ways). Finally he ran across the street and pretty soon, the bishop and his wife come over. He lifts me off the stairs and helps me into the recliner. While his wife took the boys, my sweet bishop wraped a compression bandage around my knee, got me pain medication, got me an ice bag and the remotes to the TV. He then called the relief society president and the compasionater service leader to find someone to take the boys.
See, the problem was that Jonathan had gone to school and wasn't answering his cell phone. I needed to get to the doctor but couldn't do so by myself or with two boys that I couldn't keep up with. You will never guess what happened.
My next door neighbor called her 12 year old son who called his baseball coach. Upon finding out that practice had been canceled he went over to the bishops house, got both kids and brought them over here staying with them until Jonathan got home. What a kid. He even made everyone lunch.
As for me, I had to stay down for about three days. It took me a while to be able to put weight on that leg and I still can't straighten it. I am hoping it was only soft tissue damage because I am not able to get any x-rays or CT scan of my knee since I am pregnant. I just have to take it easy for a while and I should be back on my feet.
