I'm okay! I'm glad I didn't pull any muscles this time. Last time, when my body moved but my feet stayed firmly planted, I pulled a muscle in my back and boy was that ever painful. We don't realize how man muscles we use until we injure one of them.

B2Y, glad you're not hurt too badly. Don't let it bring you down (no pun intended ). We've got too much to look forward to.

Sorry to hear about your fall. Hoping things imrove quickly both physically and emotionally.

i'm glad you're both doing ok.
b2y, would a cane help with balance?

take care you 2.

I know all about falls too. I had a bad one in October and thought Id broken my hip! Thank God I didnt, but I sure was sore and bruised. I just had a fall last night in the bathroom. Tried to stop myself with my cane and wound up putting the cane thru the bathroom door instead! Nice hole to fix now, but no other damage. Im back to using my walker now around the house. DH insisted, I had to agree. My cane just isnt doing the job now.

Glad to hear you and Kitty are feeling better. Falls can really mess with your mind not to mention the body.

I fall a lot. I have a walker and I even trip over it. I have broken bones. I am sporting a lovely sprain and bruise on my left thumb and my right shoulder is making it painful to take a deep breath. I dread sneezing!

I am sorry you fell and glad you did not break anything.

I am taking oxycodone to sleep, can only sleep on my back right now and that is difficult because I am a side sleeper.

Misery loves company and I am just dropping (uh, excuse the pun) in to give you sympathy and virtual tea.

Thank you, Aarcyn, but may I have virtual chocolate instead?

Judy, I always use a cane (or walker) when I'm out of the house, but have done fairly well with being careful and wall-walking for balance. Guess I'll have to come up with Plan B. Or C, D, E, whatever we're up to now.

Hi there

That feeling of falling..... when you know it is happening and you feel yourself getting closer and closer to the ground..... and can't do anything....sickening.

My last fall, I tore muscles in my leg - no fun at all, six months on and I am still having trouble with it.

I hope you are ok, and that there are things you can do to make it less likely to happen again.

Ah yes, I know that feeling of falling and the loss of strength to do a darn thing about it. I'm especially afraid of falling, because I'm alone, so have to call 911..

I hope you are healing quickly, Blessings.

Kelly, how are you doing? I hope you are stronger and pain free soon..

Firsts of all... Kitty & B2Y...so scary when our bodies don't do what we direct...

I hope that you both use a cane when things might not seem right... don't want you to fall & break something...
