i had a rather bad scare earlier. i was at the shops & i had riley in the sling. i came to a set of about six or seven steps & stepped up to the first one. the toe of my shoe just tapped the edge of the step causing me to lose my balance a little bit. i recovered & managed to get my foot onto the step, but it had made me lose my equilibrium (for want of a better word) & i managed to trip twice more before i could reach the top of the stairs. i actually fell forward, with riley's head going straight for the hard tiles. i got my hand around the back of his head in time & managed to catch myself with my other hand, but not before i bumped my shin. it scared me quite a bit because riley's head came within about three inches of the hard ground.
if i had fallen all the way i think he would have been okay, if only frightened a little bit, because my hand was protecting his head & i believe that i would have somehow managed to flip myself around so that i landed on my side rather than on my front with him cushioning my fall. i don't want to think what might have happened if i hadn't had him held securely in the sling!
scared the bejeebees out of me, but he didn't even seem to notice. i gave him lots of kisses after that, even more than usual.
Ouch. Scary to think how easy it is to get a bump on the head :o/
I keep tellin ya to knock off the drinks before you go out, but do you listen?
