Hi dear friends,

Wanted to check in and say HI! Been off the radar as Ifell down my stairs at home on Saturday and sprained the joints in my lower spine and left hip. I am on painkillers as I speak so sorry if this is incoherant. I ended up in hospital and have been going to osteopath. Can barely walk and have my walking stick.

Hope everyone is doing okay, much love to all, and I miss Paddy(never forgotten dear friend)

Take care of your precious selves.

Biggest hugs,

Michah

Oh my goodness Michah......what a painful fall. Making me nervous there girl, first _sabby with her fall & now you.....ouch.......seems as though this is catching around here.

Sorry you hurt your lower spine & hip. I can relate to the pain remembering back to when I fractured my hip in a fall off my horse. Thank heavens for your walking stick & pain killers.

I always think about stairs as I have 2 sets of stairs in my farm house from my 2nd floor & into my basement....the ones to the 2nd floor are hardwood flooring & very slippery when dusty or wet & one of my eskies managed to slip down a couple of the steps luckily without getting hurt.

Hope you are feeling better soon & please, no more trying to fly off the top step of the stairs.

Take care......sending much love & many gentle hugs to you my dear friend

((Michah)) - so sorry you injured yourself on the stairs. Is there a railing on your stairs - if there isn't a railing, you need to get one installed. I hope you're not in too much pain and you heal very soon.

Thanks all you beautiful people!

It was great to get such loving messages. Off to osteo again today. and I do have banister miss Eskie.....just didn't work to well that day! My osteo is worried about my vestibulopathy(inner ear damage) as that probably contributed to the fall. I have fallen a few times over the last 3 years but mostly sustained scratches and bruises(although a rock fell on me onetime). This is the worst injury yet to do with my back.

I didn't even know I was falling until I hit the ground, and i can never use my arms or hands to stop myself from falling until it is too late. I was very angry on Saturday So, when I feel better, I am going to the Neurology, Aging and Balance clinic at a reputable university here to get my balance tested and hearing. They are also going to help me with the fibromyalgia.

So, everything is being looked after, but it is a hard and liberating road, is it not?

Tahnks again all you brilliant mates. Thanks for checking in with kind words and encouragement

So sorry to hear about your fall. I hope that you are resting and taking good care of yourself. I am glad that you checked in and let us know how you are doing. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers always.

Please give yourself time to heal and try not to do too much too fast. Stairs are not fun to fall down and it seems it can happen in a split second. Just be kind to you hon.

Sending you many gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Please keep us informed on how you are doing. Always.

So sorry to hear about your fall. I'm glad you are taking care of yourself and I pray you heal quickly!

As eskie said, I fell as well, in June and broke my hand and elbow, also severely sprained my ankle, but that was the least of my worries. I'm still in some pain as other things have popped up from it as well. Healing for me is slow as I'm a smoker and I have Type II diabetes.....lucky me

As luck would have it (if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all) I took a fall on some new wooden stairs to our front door (they are building a ramp for when my client goes into his wheelchair) and they have one side with stairs. It had rained and I stepped onto the first step and whammo, foot went out from under me, I grabbed the railing with my hand that was broken and wrenched my broken elbow and bent my knee back so far I thought my foot was coming up over my head Yeah, my back is a bit sore as well *sigh*

Anyways, I know how you are feeling and we really need to stop meeting like this!!! Take care dear one......no more falling!!!
