    We were like dominoes.

    This morning Argos was having difficulty getting down the stairs so my husband came to get me. He was behind Argos and I was at the base of the stairs. My husband slipped, Argos tripped and I went down like a bag of rocks, banging my head on the baseboard which is really just a plank of oak so sharp edge. I spent the day in bed with an ice pack.

    Fortunately, Argos was fine.

    OUCH! Hope you are OK. So sweet of you to be the cushion to protect Argos.

    In all seriousness, if you have any problems, visual, balance, continued headaches, head to the doctor. A head injury is not something to mess with.

    Yikes. Hope you don't have a concussion. We know Argos is all right, you are hurt, what about your husband? Hope you are all ok tomorrow too, better even. Sometimes hurts take a while to show up or get worse.

    Oh gosh, were you the only one who actually went down or did you also act as a soft landing place for Argos and your husband? I know that a fall is not a desirable occurrence for any of you.

    I'm much better today. Just a sore spot on my head. I slept a lot yesterday but my husband woke me up every hour just to make sure I was OK.

    My husband caught himself and Argos just kind of slid into me so I was like a door stop. Which is what you want to be for your dogs. A door stop.

    oh my goodness. I am so glad that you are okay after hitting your head. Good that your husband kept an eye on your yesterday and that he and Argos are both ok.
