Fireworks and falls...

Last evening we were really treated to a spectacular fireworks display.

When we first arrived the nun told us we had to be in by 10.00 or would be locked out. Several people were frustrated as the fireworks were to start at 9.30.

Lights were out just after 9.00 and many were asleep when an almighty bang happened. We were treated to extensive and impressive fireworks.

My bed was with 8 others up on what I think was a stage or the like. From the corridor you go up one step, along about a foot and a half, then up 3 further steps. It is a polished wooden floor and steps with no railing.

OK the scene is set.

I got up to go to the bathroom, and in the process (in the dark as there is no switch nearby) I missed the edge of the first step as my knee buckled. Falling hard, landing with the tred of the lowest step impacting my ribcage while my head impacted the floor.
Result- small cut to forehead, glasses are minus a leg, painful wrist and knee, and what I thought was bridging to my ribs, but am now wondering if I have cracked one. Not the best end to an eveningRead more
