Danger lurking in the Suite

I'm usually falling down stairs, but the Elite has such wide steps I have felt pretty safe. That is until this weekend.

Checking the thermometer in the bedroom, I was squeezing into the space between the bed & the short sidewall of the vanity. My heal caught underneath the accordian door. It tore the heck out of my heel & actually bruised it. It's now healing nicely.

Then yesterday, normally I have on my slippers while doing the morning laundry. But with just socks on, when I pulled out the washer it came extremely fast. It rolled right on top of my big toe. Didn't break the skin, but had a big indentation on the cuticle. Yikes, same foot. Am no longer limping this morning, but wanted to let everyone else know to watch out for those two hazards.

Ok, I'm really laughing. Usually I just trip over the cat littler box.

Thanks for the heads up but I am not sure the 'Suite' is the problem.

Biggest problem we had was hiting our heads on the bedroom slideout. Also my wife hit her head on the microwave door while it was open.
