Took a fall today

Got mother to Duke today and I felt we finally had a doctor who answered questions for me about her condition. The doctor withdrew a huge amount of fluid off her shoulder and gave her a cortisone shot. So while I was getting her to the car I had to go back into the clinic to get help closing her walker. On my way out the door with the walker I fell flat on my back. The man at the desk came rushing out to see if I was ok. I was more in shock than anything. On a positive side I was able to get myself up using a yoga position that I learned a few years ago. So my back is a little stiff and I put my ice pack on.                                                         Annie

Annie -

I'm so sorry to hear of your fall. I'm so glad that it wasn't too serious and that you were able to get back up okay. Can you imagine if that had happened 6 months ago?

I'll bet a trip to the hot tub will help some.

Feel better my friend.

The hot tub is on the to do list maybe in the morning having my coffee. We are having our family luncheon with mother tomorrow.                                                Annie

Annie, Sorry to hear about your fall.  How scary that must have been!!!!  Do you know what caused you to fall ~~ I mean like did you trip over something or just lose your footing?  Glad to hear that you weren't badly hurt and hopefully you won't be too awful sore tomorrow.  Take care and give yourself a little extra TLC tonight!! Hugs, Donna

Holy cow Ms. Annie!!!  Are you ok??    I found my way to the boards and have been working on a profile for most of the day..  I'm NOT very computer smart lol Anyway, I am here now and I HOPE that you are ok and will continue to get better!! I may call later to see how you are!! Lots of Love!! Connie

Ouch!  Glad you're okay.  I've taken a few falls since I had surgery and ended up having labs drawn and found out I had a "critically low" thiamine (vitamin B1) level.  I was started on replacement therapy (one pill/day, 100 mg) and have not fallen since I started taking it.  I thought I was just clumsy until I talked to the surgeon about it and had those labs drawn.   My poor knees are all scarred up!

MS. ANNIE!!!!!! OMG I cannot believe you feel!! I am so sorry!!! I hope you feel super better really soon!!! Hope in that hot tub and get some lovin from your furry babies and feel better! Much love, Juliana
