My left leg is my weakest leg. It continues to get worse but I'm still walking. Use my cane all the time now but that may not be enough. I can see a rollator in my near future.
I was in the bathroom this morning getting dressed after my shower and I nearly fell. Now, my bathroom is large.....almost larger than my kitchen! There was nothing nearby to grab hold of. Luckily the shower is a walk in and the tub is separate. This house is built on a slab. Which means the flooring in the bathroom was installed over concrete.
When I went to turn around and walk out my left leg didn't move.....even though the rest of my body did. It was like my foot was stuck to the floor. I nearly fell over but managed to catch myself after a few scary stumbles. Next time I might not be as lucky.
It really made me think.....what on earth would I do if I had really hurt myself. I've pulled muscles in my back before trying not to fall and it's pretty much landed me in the bed for a few days. I had not even taken the phone into the bathroom with me. Sometimes I think about it and sometimes I don't.
I've got to get used to moving more slowly. What on earth am I in a hurry for???

I really don't want to have to get one of those things you wear in order to call for help but I might have to.....if I can't keep my phone on me all the time.
I won't be thinking of this as much tomorrow or even later on today......but it's always in the back of my mind that I'm becoming more and more susecptible to injury.
