Hi everyone, Well just when I thought things were kinda looking up, guess what I took the biggest fall yet. I have had little spills but not like this one. Saturday I had my grandaughters for a visit. My dogs stay in the kitchen when they are here so dog food bowls were out of place. Later that night in the relaxing phase after they went home I got up to brush my teeth as I headed back through the kitchen I kicked the dog food bowl spilled this little tiny piece of kibble on the floor and then proceeded to step on it. That is all it takes for me to lose my balance. Trying to protect the knee I twisted it and went crashing towards the floor my head hit the refrigerator and I fell like a straight piece of board on to my good side still trying to protect the knee which I had already twisted. My husband raced in to find me on the floor and in so much pain I couldnt breathe. He proceeds to tell me he is calling for my Rescue Squad (which I am an EMT on) No way was I going to let him do that I was in my PJs, no make-up and I know it sounds silly but my guys were not coming to get me. I made it off the floor after about 20 minutes. I knew I had done some damage to what extent I will find out today. I have been icing every 20 minutes and then 20 minutes off some of the swelling has gone down. Moral of this story is don't walk through your kitchen at night with the light off. I wii report back after the OS appt. later.
