Carrying our stuff up to the house after arrival, I caught the toe of my sandal on a hazardous overhang of the deck/ landing at the top of the stairs. I had my computer under my right arm and a bottle of soda in my right hand and was using the hand rail with my left hand. (No handrail from halfway up on the right side of the stairs.) I took a nasty fall (practically a faceplant) and my computer and soda (still capped) went flying and my right knee was laid open almost all the way across from one side to the other. I sustained another laceration between my right pinkie and ring finger (I guess from the ring I was wearing) and still have a goose egg/ bruises on my left knee. I hit the right side of my forehead and it felt like I broke my glasses, but they survived intact.
My right knee and hand, didn't. They are still bleeding (not profusely, but enough), so my husband and I slept (I, sitting up with my leg propped so it couldn't touch anything) on the couch as it was. (We didn't fold it out)
Our trips to the beach Wednesday and Thursday were out of the question due to Vibrio risk. (Whole purpose of the trip) It will be at least 3/4 weeks before we can go back as we planned.
Of the 5 of us, I am the only one who is a lifelong (59 years) beach go-er. The couple who shared our trip and their daughter didn't want to go without me nor did husband, so it ruined everybody's trip. We just hung out at the house. Walking was pretty painful.
Photos available of deck/ injuries.
