So I fell yesterday.
I don't know what happened but I was starting to toast an English muffin and somehow my feet went out from under and I fell backwards, hitting my head on the cupboards. No serious injury, but when I am on the floor, I can't get up. My knees hurt so I can't get on my knees. Ned and Marta can lift me, but Ned was in Sacramento and Marta was on a meeting upstairs.
I fell once, before Ned and Marta moved in, when I couldn't get up. I'm too heavy to move myself anywhere and can't roll over, so then I called 911 because Walt and I definitely couldn't get me up. I found out they have a "lift" service. You call and they send out a car and a fire engine! They come in, ask questions and in seconds they have you on your feet.
So I called 911 and they sent out their crew. I sent the above photo to Ned, who didn't get it until after he came home. I've been very uneasy walking since the fall but I'm otherwise OK. I woke up this morning feeling like I'd run a marathon...everything aches.
I'm very glad you're okay!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Me too!
DeleteHope by now the aches have subsided. I have bad arthritis in my knees and I am always worried about a fall, even though I am as careful as I can be.
