I’ve just suffered through two days of terrible dizziness. Thursday, I had been puttering and decided to finish papering a wall in my bathroom. When I was doing that, I tried to get on the tub rim to hammer a nail, ( not too smart, I know) and the leg I was pushing off with wouldn’t support my weight. I fell not far at all, but landed on my toilet seat, broke the hinges and slid with it a short space. No bruises, even. But the next day, I had tilt-a-whirl brain without moving at all. It continued all that day, and several times I thought I was going to seriously fall. Wall walking. I had to go collect some meds, and was just barely able to do that, with my cane. Every movement sent my eyes spiraling. Saturday, I was a wee bit better, but I stayed in bed and took care of myself. Sunday was the same. I feel pretty well today.
I think my poor brain got sloshed in one direction when I fell on the toilet seat, and boy, did I suffer. I was scared that I’d had a stroke.

Hi @mugglemary, I'm just seeing your post and PM now. I had unplugged for the weekend.
That must've been scary for you to have been so dizzy after the fall. I'm glad that self-care and bed rest have helped. Do you think that you should check in with your doctor?
