Ow!

[lilacsigil]

I fell down a flight of stairs at work today, coming back from lunch. I was going up the stairs, so my knees took the brunt of the original fall. As I started sliding backwards down the stairs on my shins and knees, I managed what was possibly the most physically co-ordinated move of my life and flipped over so I slid the rest of the way on my well-padded bum. My bum is completely fine; my legs are going amazing purple colours and my knees are very, very sad.

*insert elegant segue*

Would anyone be interested in betaing a Star Trek: Enterprise fic for The Female Character Trope Fest? It's Hoshi/T'Pol and the prompt (much to my surprise) is "fuck or die". It's about 2300 words, rated Mature, no other warnings. I don't need super in-depth canon knowledge, but basic character familiarity would be great.

NO MORE STAIRS FOR YOU! Only flat surfaces.

*rubs you but not on the bruisey bits*

ETA: Don't make me get the scanner.

Oh jeez. walgesang tripped down the stairs a few months back, gaining the most incredible bruise I'd ever seen. Feel better soon!

[senmut]

No more stairs, seconded.

If you have a cushion on time, I could beta, but my next free day is Monday.

Your poor knees! I'm glad you're okay, though; heal up soon.

[newredshoes]

Oh no! /o\ I hope the weekend is more comfortable!

[nixwilliams]

oh no! pain and soreness. :( i hope they get better quickly.

[wendelah1]

Damn. I hope your knees are okay.

[lilacsigil]

Actually, they're not too bad this morning! Bruised in many wonderful colours but not nearly as stiff or painful as I expected.

[lilacsigil]

Strangely enough, I'm feeling much better! Lots of dramatic bruising but I'm not even particularly sore.

[lilacsigil]

They are getting better quickly! I thought I'd be too stiff to get up this morning, but I got right up and went to work with no problems. Thank you, body!

[lilacsigil]

I have two betas now, but thank you for the offer!

[lilacsigil]

My knees are spectacular colours this morning but not all that painful! Hooray!

[lilacsigil]

I don't need the scanner! I'm all better now!

[lilacsigil]

The bruises are incredible but otherwise I don't feel too bad! Hooray!

[weaver]

[nixwilliams]
