Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005Fall down, go boom
I was out running errands with my grandson. Walked across a small parking area and stepped up on the curb. Went down like a sack of potatoes. No idea why. I do not remember stumbling or anything. The amazing part is I did no damage at all. Other than embarrassing the grandson. Hit the sidewalk first with both knees, then caught the weight from my upper body with the palms of my hands. Nothing is wrenched or twisted. Hands aren't even scrapped. Knees will probably be bruised but aren't so far. Wish I knew how someone my size can fall and not get hurt. I'd teach classes. Once down I'm kind of like a fish out of water. No way I can get up on my own. I knew these great big overgrown grandsons were good for something. He got me up with no problem. Jo Sorry Jo. but so thankful you arent hurt. angels were watching over you my friend janice |I was out running errands with my grandson.

Fall injuries can make themselves apparent long after one would expect. Regarding falling without breaking things, I learned a bit in an aikido class at my university before my health made it too risky to continue. Cheers, Ari Signaturespammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too.

I do love athletic young men who play football in their spare time. Who can pretend that picking me up is no big deal. I can imagine falling on purpose for their attention, but seem to do it a couple of times a year without intent or warning. Jo Ouch Hope no lasting effects from the fall.
