My lower back is sore a bit. Luckily I just have a couple of bruises where I hit the table and my knee is alright. Next time, I’ll sit for a minute before I get up. I got back to sleep easily and slept till 8. I had a vivid dream about the kids being young again but that’s not uncommon.
Oh no, so sorry to hear that you fell!

Yes definitely wait a minute before you stand up, maybe turn on a lamp if it's within reach for better balance.

Glad you were able to get back to sleep!
