It was only a small shower, I expected nothing to happen. But, sure enough, some soap got under a tread when I was leaned over, and I went down. I slid, tried to compensate, as the bar flew wildly through my grasp, and finally highsided, as it were. First of all, the plastic (shampoo bottle) was totalled. Scraped the (shower) head up a bit, and I think the (curtain) frame might be bent. Gonna cost a fortune to repair, and I didn't have collision insurance on it. I might just junk that one and buy a new one. I'm so discouraged, I'm thinking of giving up the whole thing. Most importantly, though, for the first time in 25 years of showering, I hit my head. No damage, it was a light hit, just sort of went "bonk" on the tile, but I shudder to think what might have happened. Thank God I was saved from "tub rash" by my leathers. And thank God there wasn't a car in there with me! Wear your helmet!
