Yeah I took a trip and didn’t leave the house; I gave myself a nice hard push backwards from my living room into my den, my front wheels were caught on the threshold and down I went. I went down so damn quick that the only reaction I had was to block my knees from hitting me in the face after my head bounced off the floor. After that I had to get my right leg unstuck from between my armrest and backrest; I then had to get my chair out from under me. It became a matter of survival mode at this point; my phones were about fifteen feet away on my desk, I was home alone, it was 7:50 am and no one would be here until 2 in the afternoon. My first thought was to try and get to my phone; I realized that would be nearly impossible, so I was able to get my arm under our futon and get up on my elbows. After getting to my elbows I then worked my way to a window; I saw my neighbor come out of his garage, so I started pounding on the window and yelling, my neighbor looked around and went back into his garage. So I started thinking I need to look for something to pad my hips from the hard floor. Just as I am looking around I saw my neighbor again; I started pounding and yelling again, this time he heard me. He came over with his cell and called my nurse; she arrived, and they picked me up. And believe it or not I was down only about ten minutes! I was pretty dang lucky; no injuries or bruises, just some sore muscles today. NOW- when nobody is home; my cell will hang from the back of my chair! ~peace~ Tim c5-c6 http://whoopiekat.com/crockscrib/index.htm WhoopieKat.com
