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!

EEEEEEK. Please don't say fall around here, it could cause heart attacks. I'm glad you didn't fall and hurt yourself.

I have learned, especially after my own hellish fall. not to take even one step for granted. I always ask the Lord to help me and when I make it sucessfully, I say TYVM.

Glad you didnt fall. Im like you, I use my walker or cane always outside of the house, but inside it really depends on how Im walking when I get up in the morning. I do alot of wall walking myself. I have fallen wall walking and using my cane. Hard to walk when your legs are numb no matter how careful you are.
