Guess what? I fell again yesterday but we didn’t have to call the ambulance! I was trying to put on my robe after I had been in the shower, and just went backwards, of course my hand was wet and so had no grip on the washbasin. The other hand was in the sleeve so couldn’t grab anything, anyhow I managed to get up by using one of the grab rails and the bar on the wheelchair. I must admit that fall did upset me more than the others and I did cry. Thinking back the thing that upset me was the potential damage I could have done to myself, then Alan saying that he will have to put my robe on me in future did not help. I felt totally helpless then.
I have been very tired since and am very achy today. What I find fascinating is that I never get any bruises, not that I want some but I don’t seem to get any, and all the floors are concrete. [I think it’s the flab cushions me]
A fingernail has a small crack, it’s good that I am going to have them done tomorrow. My hair. eyes and nails have always been so important to me that I have learnt how to put mascara on left handed, and have the hair straightened and manicure every two weeks. [I can’t do either with the right hand not working properly]
Oh what joy - my complete tooth has just broken off, never felt a thing even a crack etc, well why not, the rest of me is falling to pieces anyway. Luckily I’ve already got an appointment with the dentist on Tuesday [today is Friday]. How does the song go - always look on the bright side of life [difficult when I have so much going wrong]
I will be happier when the alterations are done, I am fed up with having to travel backwards [therefore blind aswell]. I have to leave the living room backwards and then much backwarding and forwarding to be able to approach the bedroom door straight on. The hall is just wide enough for me to touch both sides at the same time so not wide enough to turn the wheelchair round. To answer the door I have to travel backwards with the door to open it. [thank goodness for string, once unlatched and using string the door is easy to pull open, but the security spy hole is useless for me]
It’s now Tuesday, I collected my new reading glasses on Saturday which are a big improvement on the old ones and they are only a year old!
Been to the dentist today, I have been given 4 appointments to have treatment on my mouth. The first of which is to remove the root of the broken tooth. [that is something to look forward to isn’t it?]
But the dental saga will be in the next update, so bye for now.
