15. Oh, no!! Raven!!

You must have been terrified!!!



I fall frequently but have so far been lucky. I escaped with a broken foot then a broken leg and a broken ankle. I too have had to claw my way across the patio and up the stairs.

All my other falls have been what I call cushioned falls, off of the ladder into a large azalea, into a recliner (that I never use) and backwards into the bed.

I am so glad you were able to get surgery and it is working out well for you. Were you home alone? I hope you weren't out in the rain! Have you had help? I had home health for a while and my OT was amazing.

Take care of yourself! So glad things were manageable for you!
