Very sorry about your unfortunate accident, Ann. My thoughts and prayers
are with you and for a quick and complete recovery.
I find the older I get, the less control I have over my balance.
You know you can always bitch and moan to us, Ann. We will always lend
dozens -- if not hundreds -- of sympathetic ears.

Last Friday I found the perfect way to clear my brain from the elephant in
the room ...
I fell off of a wheely chair (office chair in my kitchen ) - The chair has
been tossed out.. it was not well balanced, and I was jsut sitting on it
and leaned forward to pick something up off the kitchen floor... which
slants a bit.. tried Not to fall (usually a bad idea) and the chair threw
me like a mechanical bull at a Texas bar...
I only slightly exagerate for color... sprained my lower back, hit the
back of my head on the kitchen sink.... this was Friday night a week ago...
I piled an icepack on my goose egg and another on my back ... No broken
bones... I checked on line that the area of my head that got bumped was a
pretty low candidate to cause a concussion (about 4 inches above the top of
my left ear.) Ice wsa applied for about 3 hours to both areas, a lot of
words with friends ws played and the serious news of the day ignored. Head
wasn not very hurt and swelling went down quickly - but the way I twisted
my back was giving me a lot of pain. two Naproxin Sodium pills were
swallowed - I normally onlly take one if I hurt say 5 or 6 on a scale of
10.. this was like 15 on a scale of 1 -10.
Then I called a friend who I knew I wouldnt impose on by crying and
bitching to him, because he lives north of Boston, is wonderful at "there,
there" and pretty savvy medically... and another friend in NY who is too
imobile for his own problems to be able to come help.
saturday I applied heat - I had some stuff here and a friend and neighbor
fetched more.. got out with a cane on MOnday with some difficulty.. staye
in for the worst weather on Tuesday, walked again on Wed, and each day
after...
getting out of bed was intense .. the layered foam was too squishy...
again, helpful hands helped me remove a layer and roll it up in both my
main bed and the office twin...
Last night was the first night I could get out of bed with only moderate
pain and today I walked about 1/2 a mile without cane...
It was just so annoying because I had lost weight, had gotten a lovely
check up in December , hardly felt the knee arthritis and was in full get
things accomplished mode.
Also had some weird stuff witht he computer but that seems to have been
nothing.. ..
It will surely be a month or so before I'm really right again, as long as
I don't get too cocky and think I'm in better shape than I am... glad it
didn't require
hospitals or doctors or the like...
There, theres appreciated.
thanks for reading the rant
