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.

Stoop! I have not heard that term since I was a kid in NYC. Where are you from?
Sounds like an ugly fall.

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.
