Another fall this morning although I did manage to stop myself falling downstairs!! 🤦🏼♀️ Lovely bruised arm and sore collarbone 🥺🥴

[Mary C]

Hi Nettie,so sorry to here you have fallen.was it a trip or legs jsut gave way.?Scary whichever.hope you arent in a lot of pain.Best wishes Mary

[Ellie]

Oh Janette, you poor thing - must have been especially frightening, given that stairs were involved 😮

Falls just seem to come from nowhere, even when we're being careful. If you think some (dreaded) mobility aids will keep you safer, do ask your OT.

I know none of us want such things, but a bad fall could lay up a person for weeks and weaken muscles even more.

Big hug to you (avoiding your bruises!)

Love Ellie.

Oh nettie I hope your ok. Stephen tripped this morning but I managed to catch him.

[Bowler]

Oh Jeanette take it steady. Hope the bruises heal quickly. Take your mind off the pain by having a go at the quiz. 😉

Hi Mary, I was just about to come downstairs and my footing didn’t feel right so just moved back to start again and lost my balance and fell backwards it could of been a lot worse, it is scary, hubby has just given my shoulder a rub down as it’s got worse as the days gone on thank you x

Hi Ellie, thanks for the hug, I’m waiting for adaptations to begin, everything has been approved just a waiting game x

A bit sore Denise, hope Stephen is ok x

Thanks 😊 I’ll have a go later 😂 x

Oh no Janette, that sounds awful and so scary.

Its horrible when there's no warning and nothing you can do. Hope you feel better soon and your shoulder heals quickly.

It might be worth contacting your OT to see what they suggest to help while you are waiting for adaptions. I'm speaking as one who ignored advice and broke my leg falling. Its such a fine line between staying safe and wanting and needing to stay mobile.

Love and hugs to you,
Debbie x

[Nettie]

Hi Deb, thank you x I emailed OT she suggested I move downstairs which I didn’t really want to do but looks like I’ll have to, hubby been on to see if they can hurry it up but not looking good x

[Ellie]

Nettie A stair lift maybe, to get as long as possible upstairs?

They can be rented.
