Good grief. I am ready for some GOOD news all around. Do we have to lock doors on everybody?

It'll be fun popping the bubbles. Do it right and you can play music, popping the bubbles on bubble wrap.

At least she well enough to be irritated -- both of them.

Lemme see if I got this straight:

Your wife was riding a bicycle down the steps and tumbled over the handlebars, breaking her knee and leg, while on her way to visit your Mom.

That's about it, right?

Were these stairs inside the house or out?

She did it on purpose, Ol-ster, jst so that you'd have to do the cooking and the laundry...

Not a good start for the day.

With regard to my mother's front steps? Well, she's 94 and uses a 4-wheeled walker, has a terrible sense of balance, and some time ago I added railings, and mini-steps which reduced the step up and down from 10 inches to 5 inches. There was just a big 5' by 3 ' slab of granite there and plenty of room for two mini-steps. She may still take a tumble there, especially when she's in a hurry, and I probably should make a ramp. I also installed "door pulls" on the door frames at each side for her to grab onto. Once they're used to prowling around in the "jungle" it's hard to keep the old folks in!
