Default When?

I ended up in the ER last night getting a Solumedrol IV after a bad day which actually started last week. Don't need to go into it all for you all know how I feel.

I fell getting out of the chair at the table yesterday morning flat on my face. Right leg just went right out from under me. Now, RW & AMN can vouch for me that I am usually pretty good and don't need any aids of any kind. But yesterday even in spots around the house I probably could of used a little support.

Going from my car to the hospital last night I KNOW I should of had something to hold me up!

The ER PA asked me where my cane was, I informed her I didn't have one. They felt the need when I went to the restroom they had to walk with me for they saw I was pretty unsteady.

So my "When" question is When do you break down and get something?". After 3 nurses I finally get one who knows something plus has a heart, was the one who walked me out to my car, the PA (who was a student) offered to find me a cane in their "loan" closet but I refused. Plus gave me quite a lecture of driving in myself in the condition I was in.

I hate the fact that it is taking my right side. I had a talk on my way in to the ER with my dearest friend about right vs left. I guess I would prefer my left for it is not only my dominant side by my driving side. That scares the crap out of me. I need to drive for so many reason. But, AMN gave me some good ideas (she is full of knowledge you know) which I suppose I should follow through on.

Ok, enough for me. Just curios to "when" you gave in?
