I don't have enough drawers to keep my foil, wax paper, parchment paper, etc. so I keep it on top of the fridge. Yesterday, I needed parchment paper to line a baking sheet. I got out my step ladder stool and got on the first step and reached for the paper that had got pushed to the back. As I went to step down I lost my balance and down I went.
Luckily, I didn't break anything but got a knot on my forehead and a nasty bruise on my right shin. Worst part was I couldn't get up so I scooted on my fanny, grabbed the phone and scooted to my chair where I thought I could pull myself up. Didn't work called the manager and she came and helped me into my chair. Needless to say I didn't get my soda bread made nor did I go to the pot luck. Nice people brought me a to-go box with my dinner in it.
I thought I was being careful by not getting on the top step but I stepped down on my right leg and the knee replacement on the right gave out.
