Whilst carrying several containers out to the detached garage last night, a misplaced foot on the first of 3 steps down led to an almost perfectly executed monkey roll. Had I been judging, I'd have given it about a 9.1. Hand placement upon landing was the main point suck. Also lost one of two house shoes. The containers all survived intact so points added there. After rollout, a quick systems scan showed nothing major, so I hopped up to complete the assessment. Besides a couple of minor abrasions, the left knuckles on small digits immediately swelled to epic proportions. First thought was "Oh Fawk, busted hand. Fingers wiggled just fine and no major pain, so I completed aforementioned task of toting containers to garage. Returned to house and proudly showed now very pregnant paw to main squeeze who eeked in horror and insisted on visit to ER. ER peops were properly impressed with swellage and enjoyed many made up stories how the incident may have happened. Xpics showed no structural damage, so assumption was a big ole hematoma. $100 copay later, main squeeze is diving me back home to a very comfortable 7 and 7 and bag O ice.
