Early Morning Carpeting Inspection

[CrazyCatWom]

And we all know for a thorough carpeting inspection it requires a close, CLOSE inspection in the DARK.

Yeah, I fell.

It started around 2:20 a.m. and I was having trouble getting out of my recliner (which is what I've been sleeping in since I got out of the hospital in 2018). I broke it a few months ago, so it no longer does the cata pult thing it used to. So it didn't get me on my feet easily, and when it did . . .

Ohhhh no, no NOOOOO . . . oh, sh--!

And thus the inspection commenced!

And so did the rolling g and wiggling--the goal being getting my legs and feet under my body so I could push myself up.

I wasn't having much success, though Mr. Johnathon T. Fuzzibutt strolled over to help, or laugh, I don't know which.

I'm so glad my bladder didn't cut loose.

I finally got onto 2 feet, grabbed my cane (though I was actually eyeing my walker. ) and with Mr. Johnathon. T. Fuzzibutt's escort, I made it to the bathroom.

However, on the way back to my recliner, my legs felt so weak,, and as soon as I leaned my cane against the wall, I fell into the recliner by flipping over the arm rest.

Every joint hurts, legs still weak. Guess I won't be doing my daily 3 mile walk (though I was getting up to 4 miles). Well, poop!

Wow, what an experience. You do really well walking 3 miles a day. I hope you haven’t hurt yourself too much. Hugs Jimeka 🤗

Hope you feel better soon. I've been thinking about getting a catapulting recliner, but holy cow they're expensive.

It's good to hear that nothing was broken. I hope the abrasion marks on the tip of your nose (from that very close carpet inspection) heal quickly!

It's nice you have carpet to cushion your fall and not hard floors. I'm sure it still hurt, though. So glad nothing is broken!

wow you need to try and get someone to fix your chair for you or maybe someone has an extra one so this doesn't happen again for i really doubt your carpet needs any inspections for i while...so sorry ..it is the pits to fall but with all of your success with your walking ...bummer ...i guess everyone in the house is missing you...so sorry just trying to make you laugh ...hope nothing is hurt bad just pride ....take care and be safe....feeling for you ....

It was definitely pride (though some muscles are sore frome all the wiggling). But I fell again yesterday. Not trying to get out of the recliner. It was just my .osi g my balance, and down I went. (

so glad all is good but do be careful ...wow ...i know how dumb we feel after some of our falls for we know we could of avoided them ..try the local good will or another second hand store for a new slightly used chair that is where i got one wasn't the kind that helps you get up but ha it is a chair ...i sleep in mine for i can't lay flat for i feel as if i will swallow my tough ...any way ,,ha would insurance get you a new one ???? check into it or check with MS society for they can sometimes help also help ....good luck and be careful,...

Inspecting the carpet really should be left to a professional. Although if you inspect it one more time you will be considered a professional without the raise in pay. Hope you weren't hurt too bad.
