Hmm, is this true confession time?  Just after we moved into this house 
last year we got a guard dog, or should I say puppy?  She was an Akita and
was 3 months old.  Two days after we brought her home I went into the 
bathroom here right after my 10-yo son finished taking a shower.  The floor 
was sopping wet, but I didn't know that.  I hit that water and down I went 
screaming (it really hurt).  My DH tried to come into the bathroom to see 
what was wrong and couldn't.  The Akita was standing in front of the door 
growling, ready to eat
him for hurting me!  I was in terrible pain for weeks and had to take some 
time
off of work because I couldn't climb into the van!  Really!  I drove for the
railroad and had to climb into the van they gave me to use.  I pulled my 
shoulder and left hip out in the fall and couldn't climb into the van!  At 
least I wasn't naked when I fell, at least not that time!
BTW, you did spell sympathize correctly!  :)
Later!,
           Pat
