You often hear stories about people slipping and falling in the shower. As far as I know, it's never happened to anyone I know, and I never thought it would happen to me. Needless to say, I was surprised when I went face first this morning.
I had just finished my shower, and I was holding onto the curtain rod for no more than a few seconds when the whole thing just collapsed and fell off the wall, and down I went, to the floor with a crash. I'm glad I just relaxed my body and just let myself fall instead of resisting, because if I resisted the fall I would have hurt myself even more. As I got up, I dried myself off and checked for injuries. I felt a few bruises, but nothing major. When I looked down at my knee, I saw a nice bloody gash. It didn't hurt or anything, although now that I'm cleaning it off it does sting a little. I began to laugh because of the ridiculousness of the situation (the curtain rod coming off the wall) and the fact that it took me by surprise. I thought it was such a strange incident that I decided to mark the occasion by taking pictures of my bloody knee (I know, I'm strange).
Now I have a nice little gash on my left knee and a bathtub without a shower curtain. Now I'll have to take baths instead of showers.
Moral of story: Never hold onto the shower curtain rod, especially if you're uncertain how stable it is.

So sorry to hear about your tumble and hope that by now, your knee is healed. Has your landlord replaced the shower rod? I hope so.
I like baths. They don't steam up the bathroom and the room stays cleaner longer. The trouble with them is they are so relaxing that I hate to get out. Nothing like a luxury bath.
Hi Anthony. I haven't heard from you for a while. How are you?
Yikes! I'm glad you're OK. I think that bathrooms and kitchens are the most dangerous rooms in the house.
All is well. My knee is just fine. I just have a little scar. I have a new curtain rod. Now I just need a new shower curtain.
Geez, Anthony, I thought I was the only one who did stuff like this?! Glad to hear you're better now, though. Watch out for those curtain rods... ;)
