First off, Happy Thanksgiving for those of you in the USA!
This morning, I got dressed except for my shoes and headed down the flight of stairs in my RV.
My foot slipped and I came down hard. My butt hit the floor and my back hit the part of the stairs that curves out.
It hurt!!! Bruce saw it and couldn’t believe I fell again. Thankfully, I did not hurt my ankle again. My butt and back are not happy with me, however, I am able to move around and get things done.
Nox was very unhappy and scared that I fell. Nox was behind me with Bruce and saw the whole slip and fall. She was very clingy to Bruce for a while afterwards.
Nox has recovered from Julia’s scary fall and is now hanging out with me.
Retirement RV Dream 
Not again! Wishing you a speedy recovery and a Happy Thanksgiving to both of you!

Thank you! It’s not nearly as bad as my sprained ankle was.

Wow, I feel your pain. I did that once at work. Take care of healing! Poor Nox–they don’t like us getting injured.

You forgot the part about the eggnog. With 2 stairs, there must have been eggnog. 😈 Just kidding and I hope you feel better soon. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Bruce and the Noxster. Did you cook a turkey in the RV?

I wish I could excuse it with eggnog, but sadly, it was first thing in the morning, on the way to the kitchen. No turkey this year, instead we had crab stuffed mushrooms, lamb chops, salad, roasted eggplant and onions, roasted rosemary potatoes, homemade yeast rolls, and pecan pie.

Thank you for the well wishes! We did have a nice Thanksgiving. I felt well enough to walk along the Riverwalk in Columbus, GA. This hurts a lot less than my ankle did.

Those steps look slippery judging from that glossy sheen. Is there now way to attach some kind of matting or carpeting to avoid future falls?

They do have a glossy sheen. I felt my sock slide right over them. They are textured – I think it is called rough hewed- but the put the varnish over that. I have never felt unsafe on the steps before. Maybe we can find something to put on them.

It would be nice if an air bag had deployed… Here’s giving thanks this Thanksgiving that it wasn’t any worse! And your Thanksgiving menu sounds wonderful!

An airbag deployment would have been wonderful; my butt and back would’ve appreciated the save!
