Good morning! It’s beautiful again today!
Ignoring my own best advice, I was walking sideways with my cane last night and did an emergency floor inspection. I wedged myself up against my SL-5800 Time Commander, my faithful Sony Betamax with variable speed scan, and I couldn’t get back up.
I called my friends at 911 again, and the lady who answered the phone asked me what was going this time.
I replied, “Pain and embarrassment.”
She asked, “On the floor again?”
‘Yes, ma’am.”
She asked if I was bleeding about the eating or breathing organs, and I said “no” and she dispatched her people with no lights or sirens. They were way too gracious and nice to me.
Falling still scares me silly, but I may have figured out the safest way to fall- in slow motion, as my knees are giving out and I am flailing my arms wildly trying to find anything that won’t just get pulled over on top of me.
Last night, I did end up with a walker on top of me, so evidently it tried to help me.
Today, over in the Writer Tips section we tackle the problem of trying to write when we have a full-time job or starting a blog for a side-hustle, a remake of an earlier article.
It is written mostly from my own experience.
