Oh, I tried to pull my pants up and fell on my hip...😜
I did this yesterday and had to have my hub help me with everything, basically carrying me to the bathroom, etc.
The pain is notable but I don't think I broke myself but more than that, I want to rant about all the things I was going to get done.
I will get to the doc tomorrow if it doesn't improve.
This got me thinking about all the people who don't have help from loved ones or the means to hire someone to help.💔
I hope Dr. prescribes RICE! Rest & Ice - RICE! I don’t know why & neither my Neurologist & GP can’t figure out why but I have lost 60 lbs. in the last 18 months. I have had MRI’s from head to toes! Even the brain MRI shows about the same white spots as when I got my diagnosis almost 7 years ago! In trying to put weight on, I even eat candy, I tell them it’s loss of muscle weight because I can’t ride my bicycle 200 miles a week because of MS! I’m not sleeping well lately. I have RX to help me get some rest. Went to bed about 10:00PM, cat came in about midnight soaking wet.. we keep towels under our pillows so he knows I’m going to cuddle him and dry him off. He gets caught in the neighbors sprinklers!
Last night I got about 3 1/2 hours of rest. Maybe a nap & earlier bedtime tonight Oh, forgot to mention I am not taking “Chair Yoga” as even if I try to stay in the chair, I almost fell out of chair! So will wait until I’m stronger before taking any more classes. I miss my friends there,😊
I've been doing that and it has helped.
More rest for you for sure.3.5 hours is rough. Did you change your diet
I was going to get on the treadmill and weights workout again and then BAM! I wipe out.😠😠😠
My solution so far is an upper body workout with light weights in my chair. Maybe see what you can do at home in that regard.Good luck!
Would a bubble suit have prevented this latest mishap, falalalala ? Hoping that you are better and that this was nothing! Rest and apply ice, like CalfeeChick mentioned. It stinks that you won’t be able to do what you wanted to do, but you should be back soon!
Oh, no! I hope that you're feeling better tomorrow.
Me too,thanks. I feel better than yesterday but he still has to pick me up to go to the bathroom.
I'm sorry you fell, falalalala! It sucks to be so helpless. I hope the pain gets better and you don't have to go to the doctor. And I'm very glad you have your husband to help you. ❤️
Thank you.
I am so thankful he was home at the time!
I'm going tomorrow for an x-ray if I can get down the front steps.Hub says he's going to carry me.😨💩
My husband used to try to lift me, which I hated. (Maybe I'm part cat?) I was afraid he would hurt his back! Good luck tomorrow.
Thanks 
I used to lift my husband😅😅😅
Good for you! (I would use a laughing emoji but they don't seem to be working for me right now...
one moment please.......
I don't know when it became difficult to express myself without them!
😅
🤣
Don't you HATE falling? I am sorry, falalalala. I hope nothing is broken. Let us know.
Thanks!
I didn't have time to crumple it always happens so fast.😠
Yes, you have a nanosecond to realize you are falling and then you are on the ground. It is awful! I hope you heal quickly. And...as you mentioned above, you are fortunate to have a great hubby.
That's so funny! And me with no emojis! He looks like he's enjoying it. : )
He was used to it as I'd do it at random times.I used to think it was pretty funny,now I scream when he lifts me with a warning.He says he's going to carry mr down the stairs and I'm freaked out!Whata baby!😆😆
And yet you can fly in a plane. 😆 (I am on my phone now. Yay, laughing face!)
😂😂😂
so sorry about ur fall 🙁
MS sux…at least for me right now 🙁
Thanks, I hope things improve for you soon.
Thank you 🤗
Sorry to hear that. I hope it gets better soon.
That's a BIG knock on your esteem when stuff like that happens 🫂 I know I only need to call in the hubby for help when I can't get out of our bath, or need the chair/stool thing just so I can brush my teeth 🫣 other times when I haven't exactly called him in to help is when I'm having a seizure 😕 my last lot was late at night, just as we were about to sleep, and I had a crazy aura! I felt I needed to throw up, so hubby came with me to the bathroom, got me a glass of water after I threw up, then he noticed one side of my face had drooped. So, he got me away from the toilet, put me into the recovery position, and called for an ambulance after the 4th seizure in a row. Better than me having seizures on the toilet when he's asleep 😅 the only way he hears me having one when I do have them on the toilet is me kicking the side of the bath 🤣 I'm happy hubby's building up muscle on his arms so he can move me into safer places without hurting himself ❤️ its funny when I wake up in hospital and he tells me how many I've had, how he realised I was having a seizure, and why I've got a 'mysterious' bruise somewhere 🤣 he told me about a time we were in A&E once, and for some reason I was asking people if they're ok! I don't remember that one. He's also told me why I had a cannula in my hand, rather than the inside of my elbow (I'd apparently ripped that one out 😮). Significant others are the backbone to our positive mentality ❤️ I'm happy you've got one that'll carry you to the ends of the Earth and back 🫂
It sounds like you've got one too!
I'm sorry you have to go through that but it's nice to read about someone so helpful😀😀
He really has taken his vows to heart! Not like he needed to in the first place... he was really understanding and remembers everything I've told him about this demon disease from back when we first started dating 9ish years ago 😁
Your seizure situations is terrible! Stay safe!
It is scary, but I like to laugh at what my mum says to brighten the mood: "put her in a bath, add washing powder and washing. She'll save you loads on electricity!" To be fair, she says that to the hubby, but I know she's been in his shoes before - her brother (uncle A) was born with generalised epilepsy and she's told me of a time when uncle A was in high school and had a seizure. The school called her up, so she went and sat with him until he finished seizing. Her partner recently had his 1st seizure in the kitchen with mum present. She cared for him, called an ambulance, and was beside him in hospital.
There's not many people to go into "Emergency Mode" on a dime and not panic, but I'm thankful I've got plenty of people around me to do that 🫂
That sounds scary and exhausting! I'm so glad you have your husband. (I'm quite fond of mine, too!)
As charming as it sounds to have a spouse carry you like a newly wed, I do hope you recover before his back goes out! Tell those pants to straighten up or it's trash time for them!
As for my last spectacular slip-go-down...Well, there was invisible algae on my handicapped ramp, my feet went out from under, and I fell backward. I bounced on my butt , the back of my head hit the ramp, and my left arm struck a support post. The hardest part was scooting on my bottom to the bottom of the ramp, flipping over onto my knees, and maneuvering into position to pull myself up using the end post. I thought my arm was broken, but it was only bruised. I hired the ramp power washed; afterwards non-slip strips were applied to the wooden ramp surface. But I'll never trust it again!
I can't blame you!
I'm pretty impressed with how you handled it.
When I fell, I sounded a lot like a screaming goat .....I think you know what that sounds like😅
Next time I paint the porch steps, I will put some grit in the paint so I can exfoliate my entire back, legs. head. arms and head all at once for I'm a professional time saver.😂
That sounds like quite the fall! I'm so glad you didn't break anything.
I don' think so but will get it x--rayed when I can move better
It's your call, falalalala, but you do realize how that sounds? If you're too injured to get an x-ray, then...maybe...you should figure out a way to get an x-ray? Just sayin'. : )Has anyone else noticed that doctors and vets are calling x-rays radiographs now? After how many decades?
Yep, I do!😂
My hub said the same thing and was going to call an ambulance to haul me over to the hospital.
I wanted to go to the chiro to see about it -rays,etc. but can't do stairs and I won't let hub carry me down them.
I didn't notice that and will test him by saying that word.
Good luck. I hope you can get an X-RAY (not a radiograph!) soon.Let me know if he notices!
Thinking like that says a lot about you!😊
Could be anything...😅😅
I don’t know but I think you have a good perspective thinking about others in light of your own situation.
I got time to reflect.😅
I haven't fallen lately, but there are still repercussions from the last time. I fell in the bathroom and hit my breast on the vanity...major bruising for a couple of months. No big deal, until I ended up with a small lump a year later...mammograms, imaging etc. done. Probably not a big deal, probably just a cyst. Then I got a second one, and more mammograms and imaging. Probably still ok. I have a follow-up imaging next month. I don't think there has been any change so probably still ok. This year, even though I'm not falling, I've been clumsy. I dropped a laptop on my left foot. It got bruised and hurt but no problem walking. The next day proceeded to drop my phone on the same foot. More bruising. A couple days later stubbed it on a piece of furniture. Thought I was done ...stepped awkwardly on the lawn...pain, hit it against the bookshelf ,,,more pain. I think I'm done hurting that foot, because I've already started on the other one. I also cut my finger cutting up a sweet potato...all healed but it did manage to bleed quite a bit, which is hard when you're trying to prepare a meal. Hoping the rest of the year goes smoother.
Yikes! I hope it goes better for you too🤗
done hurting that foot....started on the other one. 🤣😆😂
It's good to have a matching set!😀
That all sounds painful! I hope things improve for you. Do you think that maybe physical or occupational therapy might help? I don't know much about it, honestly, but that sounds hard!
I am trying to stretch but I sound like this:
Sorry for butting in!😜
That's so freaky, but funny. You should have seen my cat's face when I played it!
😆😆
It's time for me to stop making quilts an start sewing bubble wrap suits for everyone here. I'm sorry about your painful mishap. Heal quickly!
Actually, a pair of sensible slacks with a spring on the back would be delightful.
"Slacks" 😂😂
I can't find a clip, but always remember Katherine Hepburn telling her fiance, who chides her for wearing pants, "Slacks. Watch your mouth."
😅😅😅😅 What movie was it? She was a slack-wearing icon!
I recently watched "Young Frankenstein" again.
He wore some monstrous slacks!
"Pat and Mike" was the movie. I could watch "Young Frankenstein" all the time. Thanks for reminding me!
Puttin' on the riiiiiiiiiiiiiitz gets me every time along with his nose on fire.🤣🤣
Another I saw recently was All About Eve-love that one
I adore old movies (from the 20s to the 60s). I wish I could dance as well as the monster in YF. He sings so well, too.
🤣🤣 I wish my feet were that small!
I'm sorry to hear about your fall, alot of good info said here-Rice & if your hip doesn’t get any better then X-ray.
You’re so fortunate to have hubby to count on. Alot of people have no one, I have my boyfriend of 12yrs to count on. No children or brothers or sisters.
🙏🏻❤️Lisa 💕
It has improved some still not mobile.
I'm glad you've got help.🙂
I'm so sorry you had a fall and got injured. Bless your hubby for taking care of you and carrying you to the bathroom. If you still feel pain tomorrow, definitely go to the dr. and get an xray. It will probably be fine and that will make you feel so much better. I fell tonight after dinner while cleaning up and putting things away. My foot froze itself to the floor when I tried to turn and I felt myself going down - hit my hip on the floor first and then twisted and whacked my head so hard on the cabinet that I think they heard it down the block. Hubby saw it happen and ran over - I asked if he saw if my head hit the granite countertop (sure felt that way) or the wooden cabinet - he said it was the cabinet. He kept wanting to help me up from where I was slumped on the floor and I just wanted to lay there for a while taking inventory on what my injuries were. Finally went into the living room and laid on the recliner with an ice pack while looking up symptoms of a concussion online. I said my hair saved my scalp from being split open and my fat hips saved me from breaking something! Never a dull moment. Please keep us posted on how you're doing tomorrow!!
Thanks. I'm sorry you got hurt too!
I'm slowly getting better but he still has to help me. I was taking Tylenol for pain but it made me sick. I thought I had the flu!😜🤮
So, aspirin and ice for now until I can manage the stairs to get to a doc.
I know the feeling of laying there to assess things. I fell and cut my head a few months ago and now have a scar above my ear. It's my protection against future stunts and tight glasses.😅
How are you doing now?
Glad you are on the mend, albeit slowly. Hang in there and hopefully you will be able to get to the doctor soon! I'm better now, don't think I had a concussion although when I read in the symptoms that irritability was one, my wiseass husband, said YES you have that!
I'd hear the same thing for sure😅😅
How are you feeling?
Better but not functional.Hub took time off to listen to me bark out orders.
😂😂😂
Glad things are moving in the right direction! 😂😂😂
Response to \"how are you feeling\"
Isolation: How are you dealing with it?
What hurts the most...
how do you know you are getting worse?
