We are quite the pair.... my wife and I

The wife was coming down the steep stairs from the unfinished second floor (sunday) which is OWNED by the Barn cat mouse Killer :grins:

and she slipped because her work shoes do not have adequate tread.... and the stairs lack the rubber stair runner too! :doh:

I heard this big comotion and ran to see what just happened and she was sitting their sideways with that LOOK of pain all over her face. I wasn't sure if i was calling an ambulance or not at that point.

I helped her up and she limped over to the couch where we did an evaluation on her knee, elbo and back.... all seemed functional but
she did bang her butt real bad....in fact on the next day she had a Bruise the size of a Subway 1/2 foot long SUB -> on one side.

the kind that when you see it you say: :shocked:OH MY GOD!

She went to work the next day being the trooper that she most certainly is...and is real sore but she'll be fine in a few weeks...

I have forbid her to go up there now and reminded her that once again...have your hands empty...so you can grab the hand rail
and WATCH very carefully - WHERE you place your feet.

So if you haven't recently told your wife or girlfriend to do this
you should..... and Often because they might not be so lucky.
