Yes, and for the first time in my life I'm worried about taking a fall. Now that I'm older it's a bigger concern. I stepped in a little sinkhole in my driveway while walking my dog late at night about a month ago. I bashed a knee and bruised some ribs. I was lucky. It could have been a lot worse.
I once slipped on the ice and fell on the stoop going out my door. I thought I was lucky because I caught an arm on a rail, instead of going all the way down. It turned out that I did something to my arm which caused it to turn the color of a hard bruise. The whole arm, from finger tips to shoulder. It surprised the hell out of me because I thought I was safe.

My father was from London via New York City. That is what I learned to call it. People also call them, “The steps.”
No, it wasn’t so ugly, although it could have been. I think I caught a main artery on the rail edge and may have done some internal bleeding. It didn’t hurt and I didn’t bother with the medicos. I did not think it was so bad, but it took about 6 weeks to totally clear.
