I missed the last step on my basement staircase and
dropped the tray with plates and glasses.
Since I purchased a nice cane I haven't fallen on my daily one mile walk since
Festination link
I have fallen on the steps before.
This time because I was carrying a heavy tray, I went one step at a time. At the end I hit my elbow as I tried to navigate a bend in the staircase and down it all went despite my best efforts on mindfulness.
I usually divide the load and make more trips.
That way I can hold two glasses in my right hand while using one or two fingers to hold on the the right banister.
This time after a party my wife had loaded the tray and I just went for it.
Mistake I will try not to make again.
"Haste makes waste."
