Down, down, down

... Betty in a happier after moment ...

Betty ran down the incline the leads to the sidewalk in her front yard.  Betty had her hands in her pocket.  She did a face plant on the cement sidewalk.  Betty told me at supper that she screamed, that she had a nose bleed, that there was lots of blood, that she cried and then she gave me a close up of her nose.  There is an abrasion about half way up it and a bruise starting on the left hand side of her face which may or may not turn into a black eyes.

As well ...

While on a skiing trip in Kelowna, Laynie Hicks fell when she was tripped by a bag that lay on the floor between her and the microwave she was headed toward in a ski lodge.  She broke her wrist.

Glen was helping Piper off of the ski lift and somehow got slammed into an abutment.  He has a separated shoulder.

Tonia slipped in our back yard in the dark, on some ice and went down yesterday when she was coming to collect Chinese painting of horses -- a famous image someone told me.  The picture is going to her house.  She reported that she came out unscathed.

Joan Turnbull, Richard's mother-in-law, slipped this morning while running her dog in the dog park.  She has a broken foot and must be off of it from 6 to 8 weeks.

In the autumn, Michael broke his arm.

Now it is winter. 

Stay safe everyone else.
