It could have been worse, a friend of mine fell in the tub. Had to have Paramedics come to help him out, naked of course.

Are your floors laminate or hardwood? I have both...hardwood in the kitchen/fam. room, laminate in my study. The laminate is scary slippery...
I've begun wearing non skid shoes in the house lately.

I hope you're feeling better, Sal...
But please...next time, get pics!!

I haven't read this whole thread (I'm drinking some potent alcoholic beverage near Bourbon street in NO), but...

I've called 911 twice. I also told a co-worker to call the Johnson Space Center medical emergency response unit once (same as 911).

All 3 times were bad experiences.

The first one resulted in open heart surgery for a tear of the aortic artery where it comes out of the heart.

The second one was shortly after that surgery - a transient blood pressure anomaly.

The third - ended up getting surgery to bypass the left/right/aortic artery in the abdomen.

I HATE ambulances. I HATE their bills. My wife's credit rating is like 780. Mine is like 650 - because ambulance companies are not happy with the insurance company payments and I say bull****. I'll drive myself the next time!!! Maybe I'll run one of the suckers off the road!

Sorry - I've had MS for 22 years but it's not my main medical concern.

Wow. I'm impressed. I didn't use the F,S,C,B,M, or any other cuss words once! Well, maybe one of the B words...

Tom

Thanks Tom, but if you were really concerned, you'd have air shipped some of that NO's Bourbon, to me.

I feel bad, I said they weren't very slippery...

My floors probably got dirty fast, plus our laminate flooring is over 10yrs old now. Maybe I just didn't remember them being slick...
Dogs, kids, cat & dh & I all tracking in & out...

Sally, that is a darn shame slipping like that. One minute your up the next second your on the floor . It happens so fast. I am sooooo glad you didn't hurt anything except your pride.

How about one of those buttons thingys you wear around the neck, to push for emergencies? Good thing you got to a phone.

How is the cold/flu bug coming along? Did it break with the fall? I think we will send you a Playgirl calendar, just for luck.

I think about falling in the shower nak-ked. Maybe we should shower with a bathing suit or something, ya think?

I hope you feel better soon.
