Barb.....I'm sorry to hear this. Neurontin always made me a bit woosy and I was taking less of a dose than you are. So that along with the other meds probably added to your wobbly state. It's scary to fall whatever the reason. I'm alone most of the time, too, and have often wondered what I'd do if I fell and/or hurt myself while home alone. Cindy's got a good idea about keeping the cell phone on you at all times. I usually don't keep it on me but it's never far away. That's not good enough, though, if I can't get to it! I've almost fallen many times and have just been fortunate enough to either catch myself of regain my balance before it happened. But, it'll happen eventually. I hope your boo-boos heal quickly. This is a good excuse to take a weekend off and just rest and recover. Wish I lived nearby.....I'd help!!
