Linoleum is not tasty. Glad you didn't get a mouth full!

That happens to me a few times a month. It always leaves me feeling like I just dodged a bullet. It can really shake me up.

i had foot drop for one week, then it went away, so it was not diagnosed.
I had a very bad fall two years ago, down stairs at my nephew's house, because I was hurrying and carrying something in one hand. I usually put both hands on the railing even of short flights of stairs. And place my feet very very carefully.
I wonder about the Crocs. I've never worn them. I do wear slides, though, which some might think are not safe. i can't find any really safe shoes. Just have to pray like Sally does that every step will be OK.

Oh my gosh how scary!!! I'm glad you're okay B2Y Saved by the Crocs!

(I've thankfully never experienced foot drop, however I learned my lesson about having my boot tray - for Winter boots - in the pass between my kitchen and living room in my 2 bdrm apartment. I tripped over it one day and nearly had my own serving of lino. Saved via fridge handle. Go reflexes, left hand managed to grab hold of handle, right hand braced my descent to floor. Gosh I'm a dork for putting that tray there, it was moved promptly after around the corner out of the traffic.)

So glad you didn't have to taste linoleum! It's not fun, I don't recommend it!

Thank God for the Crocs! Glad to hear you're alright, B2Y!

I recently fell (my left leg just gave out) - and crashed to the floor on my knees. I am so glad you managed to avoid it - you never know what damage you may do to your body. Not to mention that loss of self control you feel when you hit the ground.

It is nasty!!!!

I really did scare me! I move like a sloth as it is and I'm not sure I can REMEMBER to slow down even more! All I could think of when it happened was, "Is this that split second people remember as they're regaining consciousness from hip surgery?"
