Sorry about the last post.  I couldn't get the nightmare visions of the traumatic experience out of my head.  Still bad, but time should help.

I will say that it started with me getting drunk and falling down a metal escalator.  Go ahead, laugh, everyone who saw it happen did.  I, however, am in a lot of pain.  Deep scratches all over my body, chunks taken out of my knee and underarm, pains in my neck and upper arms, bruises everywhere...it goes on.  I've been taking some old percocets from when I got a wisdom tooth pulled.  I've been sleeping a lot.  Rather than straight out quit my job, I've asked them for a 30 day leave of absence.  They are supposedly still deciding, but I'm pretty sure they are gonna say no.  But that's ok.  I'm not a stranger to starting over.  I will probably go to CT next week and spend some time w/my family.  I would go sooner but would like to have thanksgiving dinner with my bf.

Anyway, after I fell down the escalator, I guess I just lay there in a drunk heap for a min.  Really, I'm lucky I didn't die or break my neck.  Also, I was alone, since the people I'd been with left when the bar closed and I was passed out in the bathroom.  So...someone (no one I know) came and 'rescued' me.  Yeah.  I was in and out of consciousness for the rest of the night, but the bits and pieces I remember are bad.  Really bad.  If I had no faith in human nature before, it's now been killed completely.  I'm angry, and my injuries are making me angrier.  I yelled at a complete stranger today, for no real reason, and I want to kill everyone.  I feel poisonous.  I think going to CT and walking at my favorite place will help.  Of course, it would be more like a slow hobble, b/c of the severity of my knee injury.  It looks like bullet holes. 

I used to believe everything happens for a reason, but at this pt, I guess the world is just random and fucked up.  I've done some shitty things to people, but not THIS BAD.  But I have faith that everything is going to be ok.  I'm a survivor, and I am strong spirited.  I just need to get my head together and spend some time figuring out why.  I have faith.

    you lay there and no one helped you they only laughed?

    drunk or not....that's no excuse.
    i think that would cause me to seriously doubt the nature of humanity as well.

    know....that if i'd seen that.....i would not have laughed.
    i would have come and helped.

    Amy, I think I can read between the lines here. And I'm disgusted and saddened for you. I can't believe this happened. And falling down an escalator is really scary. You are lucky to be alive. I actually know of someone who used to work at a department store and saw a drunk women fall off the escalator and land on a pile of mannequins at the bottom and die.

    So in that sense, you're very lucky. But the rest of your experience....I don't know what to say. I hope you're okay. You worried me with your last blog. But I totally understand why you felt the way you did. I know we don't know each other well, but I'm here if you ever wanna talk to someone.

    I have fallen down an escalator, and I didn't even have a good excuse, just my own clumbsiness I guess.  Hope you mend fast.....lol, dee

    TY Fallyn.  I'm the same way, if I see someone getting hurt, I would run to help, not stand there and laugh.  It's ok though, even before that I knew that human beings are generally shitty. 
     
    E.T. I figured you would.  I guess I'm lucky I didn't break my neck.  I don't feel very lucky, but I know it could've been a billion times worse.  And ty for being so cool to me.  I've been trying to talk about it, but it doesn't seem to be helping.  I think getting away for awhile might do the trick.  Hoping. 
     
    Cry, hope you didn't get as banged up as I am.  I am a huge klutz also.  Accidents just seem to happen so fast to me.

    But wouldn't you agree some of those escalators are accidents just waiting to happen.

    Amy, I really wish this hadn't happened to you. And I wish I knew what to say too. But just know that I am thinking about you and I hope you feel better soon physically. And that the emotional pain heals too.

    Cry, yes, they should not have them where there are drunk people.  I know sober people who won't take them at all.  They should come up w/something safer.  Like an escalator made of pillows, with a trampoline at the bottom. 
     
    ET, Ty sweety, knowing you are here if I need to talk helps.  Although I barely know you, it does not matter.  You are a good person, and I think everyone loving you is understandable.  Stay sweet, don't change.

    I guess I am just not coordinated very well, because everytime I have to get on one, I am never sure if I am going to get my foot on the top on or not, or get it off again in time at the bottom.  Just call me KLUTZ!....lol, dee
