dear jappy,

i'm so sorry.
your dr definite needs to know not just about the fall but about your flare and how you're doing overall, including the bout of depression.

i know this can feel scary but with your dr's care i hope he can help you with some strategies to care for yourself independently, and safely.

could your doggy be trained to be a helper dog. what do they call them????
maybe your local MS society could offer some suggestions.

they also have people that will come to your home (occupational therapists?) to help guide you in your home environment.

please keep us posted.
i hope you didn't hurt yourself and the bruises are the only reminder of this fall.

hoping the best for you.
