I’ve always been accident prone to the point that I’d fall upstairs and gotten applause when the fall was rather graceful. While I try to be more careful I find that I’m not always successful and getting older makes getting up a bit, OK a LOT harder.
A while back I let the pups outside and was speed walking to the bathroom when my foot stuck on the hard floor and I stumbled forward. Thinking I was going to hit the wall I put my arms out and missed, hit the wall with my head on the way to the ground and hitting the edge of the entertainment center on the way down.
Imagine laying on the floor, thinking how comfortable it is but also being in pain and having a full bladder. Now imagine trying to move and having the pain be so bad you ended up losing what was in said bladder. Then your mind goes to a few days in the future and someone breaks into your house and finds you laying in a puddle on the living room floor. Yep, that happened to me
You may be wondering how I got myself out of this one. Easy NOT, through a lot of tears I was able to sit up then butt walk across the floor, using the love seat to pull myself up. The butt walking, I learned to do that after a previous fall.
Wonder if it’s time for life alert?
