Perhaps tumbled is inaccurate, more like skidded feet first. I sustained no real injuries. But I do remember how our neighborhood (in the Miracle Mile) rallied together and the Widow next door spent three days with us. She had worked at Paramount and had a massive video collection, so it was a fair bargain!
That rates a gold medal in the "every cloud has a silver lining" category! Nice of you to be so neighborly.
