Oh my gosh how scary!!! I'm glad you're okay B2Y

Saved by the Crocs!
(I've thankfully never experienced foot drop, however I learned my lesson about having my boot tray - for Winter boots - in the pass between my kitchen and living room in my 2 bdrm apartment. I tripped over it one day and nearly had my own serving of lino. Saved via fridge handle. Go reflexes, left hand managed to grab hold of handle, right hand braced my descent to floor. Gosh I'm a dork for putting that tray there, it was moved promptly after around the corner out of the traffic.)
