Jeanne, I too had an episode like you described last year. I had taken a shower, getting ready to go to the bank and the store. While coming out of the bathroom, I was putting on my robe, walking towards my bedroom, and started thinking about what I wanted to wear. All of a sudden, I was bouncing off walls, hitting my head and my shoulder then landing on my bottom.
I crawled to a chair and pulled myself up, then with the 1st step down I went again. This went on twice more before I looked at my R foot, which was red and already starting to swell. Needless to say, I didn't go out that day or for the next week. I had to wheel myself around the house in an office chair using furniture, walls, and a cane.
Lesson learned - no more than 2 things on my mind at one time. Also, I now know that pain relates to standing or should I say not standing. I did go into the neuro two weeks later and of course he told me that the next time I should call 911 because a fall might cause something worse.
With little or no feeling in the legs, it is hard to tell what happens from time to time. I know, I've looked at my legs and found bruises from unknown (unfelt) causes. So, it is very important that we are very visual and sl l l l l o o o o ow with every move.
Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably .
And never regret anything that made you smile.
Prayers and thoughts for you and yours,
Candy K.

I have an interesting thing to share. The other day I asked for prayers from you because I had what felt like a 'return' of some of the original TM symptoms and after falling I couldn't move my legs right away and they felt really strange. It was scary. I did get those prayers and many, many more and so many of you stepping up with words of encouragement which I am so thankful for.
Anyway, this morning when I was drying off after my shower I noticed my left ankle and foot was all black and blue and yellow so somewhere along the past several days, I must have sprained my ankle! I probably twisted my foot when I stood which is why I fell! I can't feel anything so it's no wonder I am just now noticing it. We are so interesting!! Jeanne in Dayton | ||||||
