That I didn't hurt myself badly when I fell this time. I turned my ankle and fell down the step with no bannister and onto the concrete. My poor right knee took the brunt of the fall again. It was scary because I couldn't move for a few minutes and I was alone outside as I was going to get something out of the car. When I could move my arms I got out my phone and called my husband out. He managed to help me sit, I was just jelly, but no matter how I tried I could not make my legs work and he couldn't get me up. He called my grandson out and together they got me on my legs that couldn't hole me up for a few minutes. I finally got feeling and was able to walk on my own again. That was so scary and embarrassing. I wondered what I would have done by myself. Would I eventually have gotten movement and been able to get up by myself or would I have had to call an ambulance to get me up? Do they have an ambulance service nearby or would it have had to come from 20 miles away?
Luckily the fall just grazed my knee and there is a little bruising and best of all it did something that helped with the left over numbness and inability to bend it completely from when I fell in September. I always thought that my kneecap was displaced a little or something was misaligned.
The falling, the having trouble doing things, and being afraid to hold the baby unless I am sitting is very motivational to make me try harder to lose this weight even if it makes me feel as if I am starving all the time. Hopefully, something will help.
My favorite huge lavender clematis died back in an ice storm a few years ago. This year I had a huge lavender clematis blooming a hundred feet or so away and right in front of the den window where no clematis was planted. I am so tickled with that .
