Good Grief, Patti!! You better stop falling – next one could really be bad.
Do you use a cane?

Todd I did the same thing about 6 weeks after I got home from the hospital. I
was at the computer paying some bills. When I finished, I got up to go to the
bathroom and completely forgot that I couldn’t walk. Needless to say, I landed
flat on my face. Fortunately, I didn’t hurt myself, but I thought okay how do
I get up since my hubby was outside cutting the grass. I was lucky that my
P.T. therapist showed me what to do in case I would fall. As I was going down
all I could think was oh s__t! Well, what she showed me worked. I have gone
down at least 2 more times, but I have been lucky that all I bruised was my
self esteem. We all must remember to be very careful. I hope you didn’t hurt
yourself.

I need to be more careful.
When I was getting of the computer yesterday & headed to the bathroom, I
turned back around to see the computer was having trouble turning off, that is
when BACK on the fall again.
I almost made it another year without falls, maybe next year.
Happy New Year everyone,
Todd

I've fallen down the stairs several times these past few years. But, I
count my blessings I'm able to go down the stairs. My hips are constantly
bruised where I fall into things, but I am so lucky I am walking there in the
first place. My PT gets aggrevated at me for doing too much, and my insurance
company thinks I should do more. I'm not to good at decisions, friends.
Chiropractors have been the ones who have given me the most relief, too.

I too had a bad fall, when I was trying to sit on the floor.
I was trying a new short cut, going from standing with my walker
to straight to the floor without sitting in a chair first & then going down to
the floor. So don't try this at home or anywhere else. lol
I let my chiropractor know that my left shoulder blade was
hurting, so he followed that point to my spine and snapped back in one of my
ribs. This was a week before Christmas, so it did make for a great Christmas
gift.
So please be very safe everyone,
Todd in CC,TX

Normaly I could say, just fine, not better or worse. After all
this time it was very study. But last summer I overstreched my hamstrings by a
fall. A very stupid one, sitting on the bed I reached too far for clothes on
the floor and slide from the bed. I jused after that time my wheelchair all the
day, because standing and walking with crutches was too painfull. Now after
recovering, it is hard to get back to what I could do before. I hope in summer
when we go to Spain I can get it back in the warm sun and dayly in the swimming
pool.

Wim, it is great hearing from you again! How are you doing –
besides learning to be grandparents.

Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!!
Happy new year everybody, hopefully this will be the year that
makes an end to TM, and if not, don't give up hope and keep the head up. Last
two years were very strange. We become grandparents, but we also became orphans
this year. Next year our second grand child will be born.
