With all of the truly tragic things that CAN happen, falling in the bathroom is one of my nightmares. I especially freak out thinking I might fall in the shower!

We're in a small town, and the first responders (volunteer fire department) are guys I've known forever. Me in nothing but wet skin is NOT the image I want imbedded in their minds!!!

I've given my husband two instructions, assuming he can't resolve the problem himself:

1. If I fall, warn them they'll need a crane and a bucket loader.

2. If I fall in the shower, don't unlock the door for the first responders (Tommy, Duane, Matt, Don, etc.) Wait for strangers.

I guess that's the drawbacks for living in a small town. Everybody knows your business.

That's my biggest fear, too......falling in the shower and having to let one of my sons help me. Talk about a traumatizing experience......and I'm not talking about for ME. 911 might have to be called for THEM.
