Default My First 911 Call.
Well, I slipped and went boom, on my new floors and could not get up. I first called DD....NO ANSWER... Called 911 and they sent a nice officer hunk and 3 firemen hunks.

One firehunk got on one side of me and one on the other side and lifted my 185 lbs, like it was nothing. I am so totally embarrassed and really feeling down now.

Having a damn cold doesn't help. It just made me weaker. I am going to have to get something, Non-slip for places on this new floor, where I transer to and from my scooter.

Thanks for being here to listen..

Was it due to MS?....Well I'm pretty sure, but maybe there was a banana peel on the floor?...ha-ha

I hope it doesn't happen again to you....

Hello, Sally -- I told ya not to wear those Christmas "slippers."

Or was it b/c of those darned "throw" rugs?



Got any pics of those firehunks?


Glad you didn't injure anything more than your pride.


Be keerful!!!

Oh Sally.....

I'm so sorry you fell. I hope you're ok. I'm glad you got hunks to come and pick you up. (You pay taxes for that you know.)

I have that problem now and then. I hope this is a one time occurrence. Can you get your construction hunks out there to check the situation and make sure it doesn't happen again? Take care dear...

Glad you're okay, Sal. Geeze......the things some people will do to get big, strong men to come to their house! You just had the construction crew there. Wasn't that enough?!

Seriously, though, I know that must have been scary. Get some socks with those little traction thingys on the bottom. I have some because of the hardwood floors here. I'd have them...MS or not. They're great!

It was due to slippery new floors. I slid right to the floor, didn't hurt, but because of my weak left side and no traction and nothing sturdy to hold onto, I couldn't get up..
