i made it home safely
 

my finger started bleeding and stinging but boy it could have been much worse.the package is taken care of. I got in the mail a woman's experience with a stroke. I had one more block to go to get good coffee but I just couldn't make it.rats

I am so sorry that you have been falling. This is terrible for you.
Any chance you could get/use a walker?

I have one but don'w want to use it. My left leg isn't that bad

Perhaps a walker would prevent you from falling????
I don't know....:(

in the apartment definitely not because there is not enough space where I fall.
I need to go outside with somebody to see what it is like. I have never done it alone and I am wary.

maybe when richard comes back you can ask him to assist you out side, only if you are willing to try to do that, of course.

Everything there should be handicap accessible. He could also work with you on using the walker with a curb if you have to navigate that, but you should not if you use the walk lights.
Perhaps I am being premature.:(

Are you off balance? Is that why you are falling?
I am sorry that you are having these falls.
((((((HUGS)))))

my balance is off and my right leg is especially weak from the stroke and my right leg is off because of arthritis of the knee. richard only stays about a quarter of an hour which is right

I am sorry you have arthritis too.
((((HUGS))))

Bobby,

I am happy to hear that you made it home safely.

I'm so glad that you got home safely. Falls outside of the home, especially on the pavement can be so dangerous :hug::hug::hug:

How is your finger now?

I don't know if it would work for you because I haven't seen what your gait is like, but you could at least ask about a forearm crutch like I use. It has given me a lot more stability, but they are not for everyone.

I really like the idea of having whoever you have for PT, or one of your friends, going with you to try the walker outside at least once.

I know changes are hard, Bobby. I think that you have been very strong throughout tho :hug::hug::hug:
