Curse the Stairs!!!

So, for like 8 years I lived on the 2nd and 3rd floors of buildings. For 8 years, I never once fell. However, in the 2.5 years I have lived with Mandy, I have fallen many times. And I fell yet again coming down the stairs last night, but this time it was the worst. I was four steps from making it safely down, when my legs literally flew out from under me and I landed on my ass. I was also carrying a cup full of water, which consequently went flying all over me and the floor, oh and the banisters. I cleaned it up and stomped off to bed. But boy did my behind hurt. I woke up this morning with intense pain in my behind and up my right side of my lower back. I didn't go to work and instead went to instacare. The doctor basically said to me, "Ouch. Maybe you should be more careful." AS IF I ENJOY FALLING DOWN THE STAIRS!!! Then he said that because of the bruising (oh yeah, there is definitely bruising) and the tenderness that he thinks I either bruised or sprained the bone. Maybe even a hairline fracture, but nothing worse. He told me to do three things:

1. Take Ibuprofen (nope he wouldn't give me a prescription for anything else)
2. Ice my ass (every two hours)
3. Try not to sit down (really my 2nd job is data entry, where I have to sit down!) He kindly suggested one of those donut things to sit on. Yeah right.

I definitely want a 1 level condo to live in. I actually had never even fallen down stairs until I moved here, so I am blaming the stairs. I am a klutz, but there has to be something wrong with these. Like they are too short or the carpet is extra slippery.
