 PK³ Hmm, is this true confession time?  Just after we moved into this house
 PK³ last year we got a guard dog, or should I say puppy?  She was an Akita 
and
 PK³ was 3 months old.  Two days after we brought her home I went into the 
bathr
 PK³ here right after my 10-yo son finished taking a shower.  The floor was 
sopp
 PK³ wet, but I didn't know that.  I hit that water and down I went screaming 
(i
 PK³ really hurt).  My DH tried to come into the bathroom to see what was 
wrong
 PK³ couldn't.  The Akita was standing in front of the door growling, ready 
to e
 PK³ him for hurting me!  I was in terrible pain for weeks and had to take 
some
 PK³ off of work because I couldn't climb into the van!  Really!  I drove for 
th
 PK³ railroad and had to climb into the van they gave me to use.  I pulled my
 PK³ shoulder and left hip out in the fall and couldn't climb into the van!  
At
 PK³ least I wasn't naked when I fell, at least not that time!
  Is this pathetic or what?  I guess it must be a common thing but before
I fell in the shower I'd never heard of anyone I know doing it.
I hope I NEVER do it again. It was very painful and I know I'll be
suffering from the fall for the rest of my life.
I couldn't get in my car or in bed or put my shoes on.  It was horrible.
We have a shower mat in there now, but I still have slipped a few time
since then but not fallen.
Do you think we should start some kind of "tub clutz club"?
