B2Y, I just had a "close call" in the hallway but managed to catch myself on the laundry room door. The cat left a present for me and I stepped in it and slid. YUK, I know. But it's so hard to see things like that on wood floors.
I'm usually very careful and always look down the hall before walking down it.
I was fortunate that I didn't fall.....and will probably be hypervigilent for a while.....but my day is coming.
I hope you feel better. It can happen to any of us. DH will calm down after he gets tired of running up and down the stairs for a while!
