The other day I lost my balance and fell backward. I was lucky I didn't go through the shower door and the seat we have in the shower stopped me from hitting my hear against the wall or floor.
H was upset with me...what did I do, I need to be careful. He didn't even ask me if I was okay. I was able to crawl and drag myself to the bed where I waited until I got the strength, and my strong leg positioned right, to pull myself up. There is no way that he could have helped me up with all his problems.
I realize now, after that, that I am going to have to look into one of those alert necklaces you wear. I had always figured we could help each other (I use a cinch strap thingy when he has problems).
