I almost died today . A few days ago a plate fell off the side table in my living room and shattered into a million pieces , It was a Corelle plate , which is supposed to be chip and break resistant glass dinnerware . I do n't know if it shattered because it landed on a ceramic floor , or if it was defective ... but I realised today that I had missed a tiny little piece when it embedded itself in my foot . It had been a very long time since I saw that much of my own blood . I bled everywhere .

What could I have done to prevent this ?
I could have cleaned up better
