Did it again - fell down the stairs
 

Yup, this morning on my way out the door to work.

There are 3 small steps out the door. I stopped, as I still have a bit on my right foot from my last fall. I took a moment and decided to go down with good foot. That would be all I remember because next thing I knew I was going all the way down to the cement. I hit my head on the ground.

I managed to call my wife who came out to help me. I hurt but still heading to work, for a bit. We are in a rental home you know with stairs. We are looking to find another home, no stairs.

I know others trip and fall as I have. I'm thinking I need to keep my cain. Not happy but it's what we have to do.

Anyway, just sharing....

I'm so sorry for your fall. Falls are not only difficult physically but also emotionally.

My husband has installed special handrails for me on all stairs, and we have a first floor bedroom, too.

If you can hold on to the rails, going down backwards is actually easier in some cases.

Regards, and sympathy, ElaineD

Thank you Elaine. The new place we are looking at has a first floor bedroom and bath. So crossing my fingers.
