Default Yikes, I almost fell!

I know, some of you might be thinking, "So what's your point?"

I use my cane or rolling walker when I'm out and about, but in the house I sometimes wall-walk, but don't usually have any problems. Well, I was walking across the kitchen floor, not particularly hurrying (thank GOD) and I stepped forward with my right foot...or I should say, with my right LEG. I thought my foot was coming along with my leg, but it stayed behind, dragging my Croc toes on the floor and I almost ate linoleum.

Whoooo, my heart is still thumping. I don't have diagnosed foot drop, and it only does it once in a while, but you know what? That's all it takes is once. Am I REALLY going to have to walk t-h-i-s s-l-o-w-l-y in my own house? Ugh. For a while there I had fooled myself into thinking I was normal. Thanks a LOT for the reminder, MS.

Be careful out there!
