Mind your step

 

April 2013

A corner of the restaurant, 2013

After dinner at a luxury hotel in Moscow, a member of my group was unlucky and had an accident.  I heard about this the next day.

 

Just outside the restaurant, there were three steps covered with a creamy carpet.  A bit further on, there were another three marble steps.  Perhaps she did not see them, or perhaps, she was talking to her friends and not looking where she was going, or perhaps, she tripped and fell down these steps.

 

She was in pain and could not sleep at night, so the guide took her to hospital while we were sightseeing at Saint Basil's Cathedral and Red Square.  When we finished the sightseeing and waiting for our guide, they appeared and we found out what had happened to her.

She had cracked a bone in her arm, near the elbow.  Her arm was in plaster, and she had a medical report for her insurance claim.  She also needed an x-ray, but she could not wait any longer, so she had to go back to hospital next day. 

 

She looked as if she had lost one and a half teeth in the accident, but I did not dare to ask.  I thought she did not want anyone to see it and I had better mind my step.

While I was waiting, I went to a supermarket to bought these kind of snacks.
