Years ago I was accused of having an investment in the tape or paint company from all the yellow strips I ordered for steps. And, yellow is the color, rather than blue. Far more visible. Any change in elevation or steps should be marked, although very few are. As we age, our ability to detect the changes and curbs and small steps diminishes.

I'm guessing you didn't completely miss or hit the steps but you hit them awkwardly, not centered, just the edge, to twist your ankle as it did. I feel for you, doing something you've done hundreds of times but just missing slightly.

Make sure they fix your ankle completely and right. Although it seems like you've found more than enough damage with the break and torn tendons, if you haven't had an MRI, I'd still get one at some point. Initially, the blood from the tendons can make it difficult to see everything. Just make sure they've found all the damage.
