I swear every third person who saw me with the crutches and leg brace asked the same question: "skiing accident?" The answer: "yep." That gets old after a while, believe me.
"Were you skiing?" "Yes, but not very well."
"Looks like someone's been skiing." "You guessed it."
"Skiing, huh?" "Trying, anyway."
"Did you do that skiing?" "Yep."
"Let me guess, skiing accident?" "Wow, you got it on the first try!"
I started telling people I was trampled by a mad elephant or something, just to keep myself amused.
I definitely relate to that feeling of being absolutely certain that you're suddenly NOT okay. Another way (aside from the pop) I was able to tell this was that once I came to a stop, I started sobbing into the snow. There was like this outside observer part of me watching that and going, "...uh oh...this isn't like me...this is a very bad sign."
It sounds like maybe you need to slow down on those stairs! Maybe some of those friction strips?
