Do Not Fall Down

Do Not Fall Down Falling down, simply terrific for the young! For the elderly, no, as our springs have indeed, been totally, sprung. I took a big spill on Halloween, And now I am known as the Poetess ala Wheelchair Queen? Feel like I finished a boxing round with Mike Tyson. Me, a pummeled, poetic. baby byson! 11/1/2021

This fall was previous to the big one. Is that scary or not? By two days! If ai had used the wheelchair for a few days, never would have busted my thigh bone. The first fall was minor.well it cannot be redone. Just forge on. 12/3/2021

Far worse. I hurt my entire body. Ot didn’t like the pain... the toe is a tad better. But Falling when older, is really nasty Tom.looks like three weeks of Pain. The wheelchair helped with the Toe, but I made the rest of me hurt more. Zero arm strength and pulling all quad core muscles, Ouch! Will take time. Pangagiota

Pangie, I'm saddened to learn of your woe; Take good care of your tender toe! And better yet steer with care; As you do wheelies in your wheelchair! Seriously, hope you are up and about soon Bob H

Bob, I am thankful to know that you care. Wheelchair exacerbated pain. I don’t have strength to use it. Now, all my body hurts, it’s a ver heavy wheelchair. Not a light one. Ouch! So no wheelies. I walk carefully. I am not 60 anymore. I do only what I can. Panagiota

Ouch! No broken bones I pray. Hip OK I hope? The dread of all seniors. I try to do everything half as fast as I once did...just to be safe...but I forget sometimes. We will say some extra prayers for your speedy recovery. Love, Ila and Joe.

LOL. I can do nothing fast anymore. I did the broken hip number years ago. I have pins in my hip. Spent time in rehab. I told them when I was leaving. I set a date! I was out way early. Can’t stand anything about rehab! Way too inner directed! Extra prayers help. Thank you. Still in much pain. Panagiota

God is the Healer and friends like you with supportive emails, you are such a mensch. You care about others. GERSHON, you are irreplaceable. I don’t make a big deal out of pain. You noticed I made light of it. Illness is boring. I will try and slow down, if I can. Blessings Pangie
