Great googly moogly Robert that sounds horrible. Take the good stuff and go to sleep. And yes, anyone who hasn’t fallen down (or up) stairs is most certainly a Cylon.

This is the only way I know how to recognize Cylons. Also when it rains they smoke.

Thanks Jennifer! Hopefully I'm less week-to-week than Jani Hakanpää was.

We have all definitely been there, thinking we can easily navigate some stairs and they quickly humble us. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you!

I didn't even think I was that prideful, but now I am much less so!

Geez I’m glad I didn’t Google as my imagination gave me plenty of heebie jeebies. Get well soon.

I'm sure it would've just given you some AI garbage anyhow. Thanks!

I’m sorry to hear that, especially the BCBS thing, but recover first and then attack rehab.

But can the Dallas Stars (beat writers) defeat the Avs (beat writers) in the first round with a key contributor on LTIR??

Just gotta say that the Stars local coverage “has more depth”…

…as well as a long time local guy (Mike Heika), who by every word I’ve ever seen written about him, has been a supporter of “more Stars coverage “ forever.

They can if they call up the superior talent they have in the AHL right now, and for 16 years...

Thanks Matt. I'll try to relax for about six minutes longer than I otherwise would.

Walking okay now. Biking okay. Can't run or jump. Thanks for asking.

As a chronically clumsy person with a penchant for dislocating things, I have so much empathy for you right now! (I have not yet had an open dislocation, and that is a new fear unlocked.) Sending you lots of healing vibes!

Holy Moly Robert! Heal quickly and completely. First Step gets a double minor for tripping and a game misconduct.

Robert Tiffin's avatar

Some officials would add a minor for embellishment if they were watching. It must have looked impossibly stupid.

Get well soon! I’ve tripped on many a stair, but after reading this, forget double-stepping!

Robert Tiffin's avatar

I will definitely approach my next stairs differently as a result of this. Probably.

Robert! I’m sorry this happened but enjoyed reading the play-by-play. Get well soon!

Thanks Alex! Didn't wanna make it a completely uninteresting bit of narcissism, so I had to add at least one or two bits of levity, I figured.
