New GPS for seniors 🤪☺️

[Kenu]

Well it been six months and boom 💥 down I went. I moved and my foot didn’t. Fell backwards hitting the back of my head on counter top, shoulder hit drawer handle and then my rear. Knocked the wind out of me and was scary crazy 😜. Had my phone in my pocket and as I gasp 😦 for air I called my buddy Hughie, get hear quick I have fallen and bleeding 🩸. He and his brother showed up and got me upright and carried me to the car. Off to ER ! Well split back of my head open and couple broken ribs and missed my lower back up. Why doesn’t that dang foot respond?🤬 Yes when I could breath a few naughty words came out. Made it home with meds and lots of pain. 🙏 Ken 🐾🐾

Oh Kenu, that’s awful. Ouch and double ouch 🤕 that’s one way to christen your new home. I have the same problem with my right leg, it has a mind of its own, the only problem is, it’s mind doesn’t work with mine. More broken ribs, they haven’t had time to heal from your last fall. It’s no good saying take care because I know you do. Praying for a quick recovery, 🙏 🤗

[Kenu in reply to jimeka]

Thanks 🙏

[rjoneslaw]

Wow Kenu seems you were in need of excitement in the new home but on a serious not I hope you heal quickly

we all have that one foot with a mind of it's own I'm lucky it hasn't taken me down, I do wear one of my afo' s when ever I'm moving around. The bioness is for when I'm outside the house and the carbon/plastic one is worn in the house

That's a horrible story rest and relax

Oh my goodness, Kenu That's awful. But thank goodness you had your cell phone nearby and that you could call your friend to help. My last fall, I tried to call for hubs, he was outside, mowing the lawn, so I stayed there, until he came in. That was only for about 1/2 an hour or so but it could have been worse. I was lucky that it was only a broken leg. Be careful, my friend, and speedy recovery

Well, if you're gonna do it, do it right?🤔 Geeze! Ken! Get back on the DMT!!!! Are you ok? 🙁🤗💕🌠

[Kenu in reply to Jesmcd2]

Well I am moving slowly and some pain. Laying low for couple days and broke out cane to be safe 🙏. Darn drop foot didn’t move on carpet🤬🤪

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Kenu]

🤗🤗 I hear ya my friend! Please be careful! And high step it! 🤗💕🌠

[agapepilgrim]

So so sorry! Must be awful!!!!

[kdali]

Oh no Ken! I’m so sorry! Do you think the move made the drop for worse? I’m feeling the moving woes myself.

I hope you can rest up and take care of you!!

[Kenu in reply to kdali]

No, I was feeling pretty good it is that that crazy foot drop🤬. You think it’s moving and doesn’t and down you go. 🙏 Ken

[kdali in reply to Kenu]

I’m glad you understood what my autocorrect did there 🙄

I didn’t realize you felt it move correctly! My only experience is with people wearing foot gear for a limp looking foot. Good to know, ty for explaining!! Also, that’s a problem 😵🤯 The fruits of this disease are ugly and bitter.

[Sandydemop]

Awful! But you're in good company. (Mine) Tonight i fell out of the shower. Just brought down the shower curtain and rod. no other injuries to report except for hurt pride.

[Mermaidia11]

Oh Ken honeybunch!!

Jaysus that sounds scary and painful

Arg you poor thing !

You will be well wobbly for a good few days so need to rest up and take it easy ( but carry on doing daily stretches - on your bed or your sofa where you can’t fall anywhere!)

Do you have a rollator with a seat? (You need more than a cane)

Now is the time to use it!

You are going to be more vulnerable to falls because you bashed the back of your head - where your cerebellum is and so may have temporary balance issues(cerebellum ataxia) for a good few weeks (I did exactly what you did and not long after fell and broke a few ribs zzz)

And get the troops to make you nutrient rich soups and fresh fruit smoothies!

No heavy hard to digest meals for now eh

.

..and No more gallivanting around the kitchen for now - that’s what friends are for amigo ?

nows the

time to be assertive with knowing what you need and help yourself by getting them to help you

Asprin will help with the pain as well as helping to stop that blood of yours getting too sticky and causing a clot while you recuperate

Do they have district nurses in your part of the world?

You need that head of yours and other injuries regularly cleaned and dressed so they stay clean and don’t get infected ...

Sending love, hugs and sparkles safe and swift recovery Kenu

[Kenu in reply to Mermaidia11]
