Oh, man. It is so scary when that happens! I'm just glad that you're okay.

It's especially hard for those of us who live alone, I keep my cell phone on my person at all times for this very reason.

Barb, maybe it's time to add a rollator to your fleet. It will give you the bilateral support and also a place to sit in situations like this. You might also consider some supplementary grab bars in the bathroom to use as high-strength railings you can use when moving about the room. They say that the bathroom is the most dangerous room in the house.

I hope your owies heal swiftly.
