She was AT the kitchen sink doing the dishes. Out of the corner of her eye, a huge spider emerged. Her instant reaction was to stamp upon it, but this proved disastrous. She slipped on the wet floor (or the squashed spider - it wasn't clear) and landed heavily on the floor, knocking herself out for a couple of minutes. When she came to, there was a pool of her blood on the floor. She had the sense to call for help. When the paramedics came, it was decided that she needed to be checked over in hospital. Three days later she returned home to find a stack of dishes awaiting washing, a bowl of cold washing water with a dead frog in it that stank and one of her finest pieces of china on the floor with a chink out of it. She groaned, and then she spotted the blood stain on the floor and groaned again. She went to the lounge for a whiskey and soda before tackling anything in the kitchen.
