Hi Les; If you have a guide dog, that seams kind of strange that you would have been near the stairs. Unless you and the dog were going down the stairs and you slipped, isn't it the duty of the dog to keep you away from stairs. Conserned, becaused I am possibly thinking of a dog in the future.

Well, in this case, it was over my shoulder, and I suspect that was advantageous, as I didn't land directly on the unit. Everything was a blur, but I think it rolled off my shoulder when I fell. I do appreciate the suggestion; I posed for others to think about, as I know I'm not the first to take a tumble. I'm grateful as I know it could have been much worse than it was. Lots of cuts, scrapes and some stitches, but no broken bones. My dog and I got to ride in an ambulance for the first time, always willing to try anything once, just don't want any repeats here. Well, I've been saying I wanted a couple of days off from work. I didn't plan to get them this way!

It comes out without injury and I have also been lucky (without personal injury). Here is a suggestion for keeping it from falling off your lap. I used a Braille'n Speak for many years and still have the strap. I like using it because it is more narrow than the BN strap. I strap the BN around my waist loosly so that I can reach the keys easily. I can also use it while I am standing with it fastened around my waist. For me, a strap around my neck is a big problem due to a previous neck injury. Any adjustable strap with a clip on either end would work for this.
