These Hotel Slippers are true Lethal Weapons
On Tuesday evening, I almost died... No joke... After arriving at the family flat, I was in the bathroom before going to bed when I slipped and hit my back on the edge of the bath.
I was on the floor for about thirty seconds, in fact, until someone came to help me up...
Here are the "almost" murder weapons. Two bad cloth hotel slippers and I couldn't resist taking a photo of them to remember them and share them with you on this blockchain so that I can remember this moment and its consequences. And above all, the consequences that could have happened. But before we get there, let's take a closer look...
Here's the underside of these slippers. They look like they're made from the same material used for the glides you put under furniture to make it slide ! In other words, I'll never wear those things again and I'll stick to my old Birkenstocks !
But here's why it could have ended very badly. A few centimetres away and at a different angle (but not very far away) I could have hit that corner of the bath with my neck. And then, no more Anttn, or just a way much diminished version ^^ !
Fortunately, it was 'only' the lower back on the left that took the impact. I could also have hit the spine, but what can I say... fate wasn't in this mood and decided otherwise.
So I'm doing very well, even if the physiotherapist I managed to see the next day confirmed that I could have hurt myself a lot more and that I'll be out for ten days or so for the first stage of recovery. But between that and not being able to walk any more, the choice is quickly made !
So that's my medication kit : an anti-inflammatory cream, peppermint essential oil, which is also anti-inflammatory and known for the cooling sensation it gives, and finally a bit of homeopathy with Arnica.
The physiotherapist also recommended that I wear a lumbar support belt, and I have to admit that it's really helped me over the last few days !
I'm going to confess to you that I don't regret anything - because there's no point - and that even now that it's happened and I'm suffering the consequences, I'm going to take advantage of this physically degraded state to take better care of myself.
In fact, when we're in good shape and everything's going well, we never (or very rarely) think about how wonderful it is to have nothing and feel ready for anything. So this is a renew lesson, and as I have to admit that I'm very rarely ill, I don't get this lesson very often.
If you have any advice or recommendations, I'd love to hear from you, and I hope that despite this 'not so good' news, you've still enjoyed this article and the accompanying images. Thank you for visiting and have a great weekend!
Take special care of yourself,

Mardi soir, j’ai bien failli mourir… Ce n'est une blague... Après être arrivé à l’appartement familial, alors que j’étais dans la salle de bains avant de me coucher, j’ai glissé et me suis heurté le dos contre le rebord de la baignoire.
Je me suis étalé sur le sol pendant une trentaine de secondes, en fait, jusqu'à ce que l'on vienne m'aider à me relever...
Voilà les armes du crime. Deux mauvais chaussons d'hôtel en tissu et je n'ai peu m'empêcher de les prendre en photo de façon mémorielle et ainsi de les partager avec vous sur cette blockchain afin que je puisse garder en mémoire ce moment et ses conséquences. Et surtout, les conséquences qui auraient pu se produire. Mais avant d'y venir, regardons les choses plus en détail...
Voilà le dessous de ces chaussons. On dirait qu'ils sont faits de la même matière que l'on utilise pour les patins que l'on place sous les meubles pour les faire glisser ! C'est vous dire que je ne mettrai plus jamais ces machins-là et je m'en tiendrai à mes vieilles Birkenstock !
Mais voilà pourquoi cela aurait pu finir très mal. À quelques dizaines de centimètres près et avec un angle différent (mais pas très lointain) j'aurais pu heurter ce coin-là de la baignoire avec ma nuque. Et là, plus de Anttn, ou alors une version éminemment diminuée ^^ !
Alors heureusement, c'est le "seulement" le bas du dos à gauche qui a prit l'impact. J'aurais aussi pu taper la colonne vertébrale, mais comment dire... le destin n'était pas dans cette humeur et il en a décidé autrement.
Je me tire donc très bien, même si le kinésithérapeute que j'ai réussi à voir le lendemain m'a confirmé que j'aurais pu me faire bien plus mal et que j'en aurai pour une dizaine de jours pour un premier palier de rétablissement. Mais entre ça et ne plus pouvoir marcher, le choix est vite fait !
Voilà quel est donc mon kit de médication, de la crème anti-inflammatoire, de l'huile essentielle de menthe poivrée qui est aussi anti-inflammatoire et connue pour la sensation de fraîcheur qu'elle provoque et pour finir, un peu d'homéopathie avec de l'Arnica.
Le kinésithérapeute m'a aussi recommandé de porter une ceinture de soutien lombaire et je reconnais que cela m'a bien aidé tous ces derniers jours !
Je vais vous avouez une chose, c'est que je ne regrette rien - car cela ne sert à rien - et que même maintenant que cela est arrivé et que j'en subi les conséquences, je vais profiter de cet état dégradé physiquement pour plus prendre soin de moi.
En effet, lorsqu'on est en forme et que tout va bien, on ne pense jamais (ou très rarement) à la merveille que c'est de ne rien avoir et de se sentir prêt à tout. C'est donc une nouvelle leçon et je dois aussi reconnaître que je suis très rarement malade et que c'est donc assez peu fréquemment que j'ai le droit à cette leçon.
Si vous avez des conseils et des recommandations, je serai bien-sûr preneur et j'espère que malgré ces "moins bonnes" nouvelles, vous aurez tout de même apprécié cet article et les images qui l'accompagnent. Je vous remercie pour votre visite et vous souhaite un excellent weekend !
Prenez spécialement bien soin de vous,

Oh dear, yikes! Thankfully things weren't worse...
The good Lord definitely was looking out for you! @anttn 🙌
In my experience, there is a reason that style of footwear is called slippers!
Please take it easy for awhile!
Hey @ninahaskin, many thanks !
This is exactly what I'm telling to myself !!
True that, I hope I still have some credit left 😅
I will try to stay chill a bit, I said "try" because we just arrived to the countryside, this marvelous place where there's always something to do, haha !
Have a lovely weekend dear and thank you again !

Those slippers are dangerous, true!! And it's not the same using them on a carpet where the chances to slip are lower or in the bathrooms where the tiles are like an "ice skating surface" 😅
Take care, @anttn! Throw away these slippers and I hope the pain goes away soon.
Well yes, with bare feet it would never have happened to me !
I will take care, many tanks 😇 I'm going to take advantage of this time of recovery to do a bit of what I don't have as much time to do... Starting by replying a little more quickly here ^^
I hope you're doing well dear @mipiano, have a lovely weekend !
You are doing great, a lot better than me right now in that activity 😅
Weekend passed, so let's have a great second half of the week, @anttn😇
Haha, in that case, I think we're just ex æquo 😅 Many thanks, have a great one as well !
Nice adventures you seem to have found in Narbonne 😉 !
Narbonne, it was a short stay but nice 😉
I hope you are having a lovely Saturday @anttn 😇
Oh no… sorry to hear my friend.
Hope you recover quickly ☘️
Hotel slippers are indeed dangerous. I never use them and have my own extra anti slip socks or slippers with me.
Take care 😘
!HUG
Yeah, this is not so good, but well, each day it's improving a bit :)
Many thanks dear !
Haha, I can recognize an organized person here 😅
Have a lovely weekend, are you still in Sweden ?
Good to hear it is improving 🤗 hope it heals good and quickly.
Just a little bit, depending on what size suitecase or bag I travel with. 😉
Thanks a lot, I am still in Sweden. Right now I am in the centre of it. For the next 3 weeks also 😎
It was -12 today and everywhere snow. I drove 4 hours up north to the next stay. The sky is clear, crisp and blue. So beautiful everywhere.
Have a great Sunday 😘
Ah ! That sounds like great great adventure :) Enjoy 😊 I will be delighted to see that !
Take care 😘
Let’s me tell you it is awesome. In every way 😊 I love it!
Will share more from Sweden soon.
Have a wonderful week @anttn 😘
Take care too.
Hope you feel better.
Haha, this is making me even more curious !
Many thanks 😊 Still busy at the countryside, but I try to not overact for the back ^^ which is going slightly better :)
Have a lovely evening 😘
We saw reindeer on the road today… many of them. One group I took a video from. Put it on YouTube. Will share in the next days as a post.
We go further north tomorrow again. So probably the day after 🤓
I so love driving in the snow ❄️
Yes, do take care with the work at the house.
Good to hear it is going slightly better.
Thanks 😘 enjoy yours!

Ooh, that must have been a so beautiful moment to assist ! I love those big gathering of reindeer in the snow :)
I've never drive in the snow, would love to try in good conditions hehe !
Thank you dear, see you soon ✌️
Yes, it was magical… so wonderful to see.
Today, sadly too far away and too dark, I saw an other moose and her young. I couldn’t get a photo.
Hope we see much more wildlife the more north we go.
It’s awesome. If it is a dry snow, clear weather… it is like as fast. If you have winter tires it behaves the same. I love it.
You are welcome 👋🏻😊 have a fantastic new month 😘

Yes, I can imagine what that must have been like !
Ah, that's a pity, but you took it in your memories and this the most important :)
I see... Even so, I won't be reassured the first time haha!
Thank you, have a good start too 😇😘
Exactly like that… it’s in my memory, accessible when I want.
Such a magical moments to be so close to wild life here.
Same as hubby, he needs to get used to it. Gets everyday better when he drives.
Sometimes it feels like asphalt. You just have to trust your winter tires.
Thank you kindly, you are welcome.
Enjoy your weekend 😘

Take good care as well

Bon weekend à toi ✌️
Ouf! The bathroom is the most dangerous room in the house! I can think of 3 people that I knew that died from slipping in the bathroom. I'm glad it wasn't worse!
After what happen, it doesn't surprise me !! Gosh, that makes a lot of people...
Tbh, I'm really thankful for what I got and not worst !
Thank you dear @nikv
Man, that's scary, what you're saying. I haven't stayed in many hotels but I've experienced it every time I've stayed. Hotel slippers are a real death trap. They always slip. Luckily you got through it with some pain. I hope you never experience anything like this next time. I don't want to lose Anttn like this :D
I haven't been there very often either, and not often enough to have enough experience and expertise in slippers 😂 But I'll pay more attention next time !
Thank you really much for your kind words dear @incublus, may you have a lovely weekend :))
You are welcome, have a nice week as well :)
✌️
Freaking scene of a horror movie! Take care!
Hahaha 😂
This was exactly that, but in an indoor version ^^
Thank you @mrprofessor ✌️
Oh no!! I can nearly feel the pain of the fall just by reading this. Even slipping onto the floor is painful but to hit your back on the bath is terrible 😥
Take care !!
Yeah, hopefully, nothing is broken 😅 !
This will give me more time near the stove haha, let's take that from the good side :)
Many thanks @livinguktaiwan, have a good weekend 😘
What happened to you is very risky and Km glad that things didn’t go worse
Please don’t just wear that slippers again
Have a great day!
Definitely, it's what I'm telling myself ! This could have been worse :)
Haha, promise, I won't !
Thank you dear 😘
Get well soon🙋🏻♀️
Thank you :)
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. These types of unexpected accidents really make one stop and think about their health and safety.
I hope you get better soon.
Not to make light of your pain but when I read the title of the post this was all I could think about. Not sure if you're familiar with the scene?
Yes, that's exactly that ! I will take this time to chill a bit hehe !
Fortunately, I can still drive, walk and put a few logs on the stove ^^
Thank you for your good wishes, and no, I don't know this one, from which movie is it from ?
The scene is from the Movie "Austin Powers: the spy who shagged me." It's a spoof movie based on the classic James Bond films. It's like any spoof film - very "stupid" humor, but it was pretty funny backnin it's time. Here is the full scene.
Haha, thanks ! I really enjoyed it, it reminds me of a lot of absurd French films from the time :)

Did you(r family) score those murderous 'slippers' at the Bates motel?
Glad to hear you're alright, now try to take it easy ;<)
✨
Haha, that's quite possible ^^
In any case, it wasn't me who brought them back !
Thank you very much, I'm (slowly) starting to feel better
Have a good evening 😘
So it was actually a murder plot? A set up plan?
Just kidding.
Glad to hear you're doing better.
I guess the others were probably more scared than you.
Take it easy ✨
I'm now forced to believe so haha ! Perfect, we're planning to organize a family Cluedo for Christmas, like "who attacked Aunti Brunhilde with a toothbrush ??" This will be passioning ^^
I will definitely, rather than returning to Paris today, I preferred to stay one week to the country house, just spending all the evening by the stove healed me a lot :)
Hope you had a similar evening ✌️
Your almost death would fit in perfectly.
So it happened in Paris?
Just another sign to spend as little time as possible in big cities ;<)
Stay warm and cosy!🤗
No, it happened in Lyon in the family appartement ! Already, I didn't like bathtubs and baths, but now, this feeling is even more exacerbated 😅 !
You've nailed it ! Next Monday I go back in the great Babylon haha, can't wait lol ^^
Have a great evening, I still in front of the stove hehe
I actually do like baths but I have had painful experiences with them too ( in a hotel, in Spain ), a story I won't share here, as it's embarrassing and was super painful.
I am sure you're happy and relieved to be back in your 'quiet' paradise ;<)
Yeah, baths are in fact quite dangerous !! I rather prefer the rivers and sea ones, even if they're possibly more hazardous 😅 !
I've come back in Paris for few days, well... Winter is far less pleasant here haha !
I hope you're doing well and that your plans for Christmas I read in one of your later articles will be nice ❤️
I particularly love swimming in rivers. We have great river beaches here, that are often pretty safe ( if you're not being stupid ). I am less of a fan of swimming in the sea, aside from exceptions, but I love the beach and dunes and the healthy effect of the sea(side) overall.
Working on that. I really need to recharge and could use some good old family 🎄 time.
Yeah, I tend to prefer rivers as well, I like the water in a flow ! I've been a lot to seas, but the salt and the sand can be quite irritating haha 😅 !
That's great ! This year too, I will follow that path hehe ! It's been a bit long :)
Take good care dear 😘
Oh no! 😨 Sorry to hear that, thank God it wasn't worse. Please don't put on those slippers again.
Haha, you're kind !
I won't !
So so sorry to hear that, it must have been very scary to have fallen like that. It is such a relief to know that you are okay.
Thank you very much @creativepearl :)
Indeed, that was super scary, I saw that like a slow motion !
Hopefully, I doing better day by day ✌️
Take good care 😘
I know right, I can only imagine.
Alright, take very good care of yourself.
Thank you :))
Take good care as well ✌️
I will, thank you so much.
I like the fact that you're capitalizing on this mishap to take better care of yourself. But looking at the angle and the apex of the bathroom, I'd say that the universe really wasn't in a bad mood at the time.
I'm happy you're safe🌼
And now that I think of it, the base of those slippers aren't supposed to be that way.
In fact, it's quite passioning to observe all the daily improvements. "I can bend down this far now, I couldn't yesterday. Now I can finally put on a sock without wincing. Great success" 😂
I had the same idea looking at it, maybe I could do a request (!?)
Take care dear @wongi and thank you for your kind words 😘
It's great to see you're making progress 😄
Or a complaint... either one that works best
That’s incredibly dangerous for sure! I’m glad it turned out okay for you but that is certainly scary! No more slippers haha
Definitely not !
Now I will travel with my own haha 😅
