I took the wrong door in the night in our house stepped into air and fell down these 10 tiled stairs. Ended up in hospital with head lumps the size of a clementine and an egg, a rip in my arm that required 4 internal and 14 external stitches, a badly sprained ankle. A great doc, a CT scan, an x-ray, and a consult with an orthopod. $130 total. Vive la france socialiste! Recovering but limping and unsteady. Spent yesterday in bed. Today, forging ahead. The fun must not stop. Karen was fabulous.
