I really hope you don't find any damage (on your cameras but especially 
yourself)!

About 1-1/2 years ago Tanya slipped on some wet leaves on our driveway, put 
out her hand to brace herself and broke her wrist badly. She got an 
extremely elaborate and impressive looking external brace, holding things in 
place with many screws. About the time I had my second knee replacement, so 
we were both useless.

Then just before New Year, she slipped on a slimy wet wooden wharf and 
cracked some ribs. At least she didn't have time to brace herself with her 
now mended wrist. It's now been a month, so she's mostly pain free, but it 
certainly was no fun. No cameras were injured in either incident, but as you 
get older both your sense of balance and recovery aren't as good, so it pays 
to be careful. As I was taking photos of her and the grandkids at the time 
of the second incident, I did catch a picture of her just after she fell and 
before I realized that she had injured herself, but I better not post it.

All the best to you!

Henning
