Today, it was my first day in Paris. I've been saving up for five years. It was a rainy day, but I was determined to go see the Eiffel Tower. On my way, I fell down a slippery set of stairs and knocked both of my front teeth out. Now, I have the view of the Eiffel Tower from my hospital window. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a trip to the emergency room for severe stomach pain and almost passing out in the shower, I slipped on the wet bathroom floor and broke my two front teeth. FML
Today, it's been a few days since I moved into a new apartment and was excited to finally have a balcony. I went out to enjoy the view, but as I leaned against the railing, it gave way and I fell two stories onto the pavement below. I ended up with a broken leg and a huge medical bill. FML
Today, after a month of things going wrong in my life and finally getting better, I woke up refreshed and ready to face the day. Then, I fell down the stairs. FML
Today, after working two jobs and saving constantly this year all for a month-long solo vacation traveling to 7 countries, I arrived in first one. Within three hours I fell and broke my foot, forcing me to come home in fear of needing surgery. FML
Today, I went outside for the first time in a week and ended up tripping over something, busting my lip and nose, and breaking a tooth. I ran away in a dazed and confused panic while dropping all my stuff. Not going outside again for a while. FML
Today, I tried to open the door with my mouth because my hands were full. I chipped a tooth. FML
Today, I woke up in the hallway. I took a sleeping pill the night before to get a good sleep in for work, but it turns out it was too strong. I got dizzy and passed out on my way to my bed, fell in the hall and chipped my two front teeth, and slept there - straight through work the next day. FML
Today, I took my two-year-old daughter to the dentist for her first check-up. We were at the front desk when she tripped, fell and chipped her front tooth on the marble floor. FML
Today, it was my first ever live piano performance. It went all great until the end, when I stood up, slipped, and smashed face-first into the keys. I've lost half a tooth and all my dignity. FML
Today, my family and I were just about to leave the house for the vacation that I had been saving up for 3 years. I was coming down the stairs with a heavy suitcase and I tripped and fell breaking my leg, now my family's gone without me while I'm in hospital. I paid for the vacation. FML

Think of it this way, that's one view of the Eiffel Tower you'll never forget, and you have a story to go along with it. Sorry OP, that's a crappy way to spend your vacation.

She had to go to the hospital to make sure she didn't have a concussion, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Yeah, or at least who *stays* in hospital for missing teeth?

The most important thing is that you have a view.

Hey, at least you got to see the tower, and you won't get wet because of the rain. Feel your pain bro, had one of my front teeth cracked.

Well, if you can manage to take the long view...in 15 years you will have a story to tell at parties that no one can top. But for now that really does suck.

Well I hope that didn't ruin your whole entire trip to Paris. It's Paris! There's a lot more places to see than the Tower. Plus you earned and deserved it. Don't let a little bad luck get to you. Just don't eat anything hard, and don't walk in the rain as often........,

you know, not many hospital rooms have that kind of scenery

I can't help but feel that you deserved it. I understand you were excited, but you could have waited to view the tower the next day or something. Plus, it would have been prettier (in my opinion) if it wasnt raining. The Eiffel Tower is beautiful at nighttime when it is lit up
