I have to reach the ceiling above the toilet but the space between the sink and the toilet is too narrow for my step ladder to fit. It would be for just a couple minutes.

I broke my big toe that way.
Im not 100% sure how it all went down. But. I was standing on the toilet bowl. Lid closed (of course). I was leaning off to the left to reach a light bulb over the sink I was trying to get to .
Something happened where the seat came loose somehow. Slid sideways. In an attempt not to hit my head on the ceramic sink I over corrected my right foot. It went into the now open toilet. Big toe first. Full body weight.
Took like 3-4 months to heal.
Pretty sure it was just hairline fracture. Not a compound fracture.
But I was honestly lucky it was my big toe and not my head and the sink.
The lid was tight before I did this.
I thought the amount I had to lean over was not very much and it honestly didn’t look like a risk. I was wrong.
I’m super lucky as I live alone. No one would have found me for at least a week.
Don’t be playing around in the bathroom. Every surface is a death trap.
My friend who is a mortician told me a lot of people die in bathrooms. Like way more than you would think.
