A new stage in my life...................

[Grannie G]

Thank you @reedysue

I did stiffen overnight but the few steps from bedroom to kitchen loosened me.

I've been very lucky. There might be some internal bruising but there's nothing to show for it.

Sorry I missed your post yesterday. I hope your not feeling too sore or uncomfortable this morning. Falls are always unsettling, take care.

 

[Grannie G]

Thanks Jay

I hope the effects of your fall ease quickly Sylvia. Apart from the pain it shakes you up doesn’t it.
My sister is on at me to get the lifeline thingy but I know I will never have it on me when I need it - if I ever do - so I am resisting it - strongly!
I think whatever we do to try to minimise the risk of falling it will happen whatever we do!
Rest today.x

 

[Grannie G]

Thanks Saffie. x

Oh Sylvia what a shock I’m glad there appears to be no lasting damage.
Hopefully today you have your alarm pendant close to hand?

 

[love.dad.but..]

Hopefully as the day wears on any stiffness and pain will continue to ease it must have given you quite a shock.

Sylvia, I missed this yesterday. I'm glad that things were not worse than they are. Please take care of yourself.

I hope you're not too badly bruised. Knees are a pain when they won't work as they should!!

It is such a beautiful day I decided a bit of variety was needed for my regular cliff top walk so caught the bus to Ramsgate.

The walk way was wide enough for pedestrians, dogs, wheelchairs and bikes. The sea was calm, the sun was warm.

I passed moving tributes on memorial benches.

I stopped for a coffee then walked slowly down to the harbour for my bus home.

Thank you so much for the lovely photos of Ramsgate, when I was a child we always went to Clifftonville for our holiday and always stayed in the same guest house, if only I could turn the clock back

I trust you are really on the mend. We usually rely on homeopathic arnica, I am not recommending it but look it up for your self. Falls are too easy to have days.

 

[Grannie G]

Thanks so much everyone.

As the day wore on the pain eased and the movement became more fluid. I have no visible bruises either. It was such a heavy fall I've got away with no ill effects.

@AliceA. I have arnica in but forgot to use it.

I also had loose seat pads on the kitchen chairs and it never occurred to me to use them either. I cushioned my knee with a tea towel and a tea cosy which were hanging at the side of the unit.

Any presence of mind I have seems to have deserted me.

Hello @Rosebush

I'm pleased the photos of Ramsgate brought back happy memories for you.

Me too! I forgot when I twisted my knee two days ago! Reminding you reminded me.
Question--- did you fall to remind me or did I twist my knee to remind you? In the Oneness of all things who knows?

That is the question!

I hope your twisted knee heals itself as quickly as my fallen knee.

I'm going to a different meditation group this morning at our local library. We`ll have the same teacher but with a group of different people. Our teacher does this every so often as an extra for the local adult education college.

 

[AliceA]

Enjoy your new group. We have been to various such things in the past. Now I seem housebound I find other ways. I went to sleep last night to the sound of a Tibetan OM chant. I had a restful night, even though 'someone' had fiddled with an alarm. Two long appointment days ahead so start of anxiety.so I must stay calm, look efficient and reassure.
My knee has a support on so it is a case of being careful.

Enjoy your day, x

In this area there is a Volunteer Bureau and amongst other services we can book taxis for the price of the fuel only. I found this really helpful when we had appointments. The taxi drivers were more sympathetic that many regular drivers because their living didn't`t depend on how many fares they had.

Here is my favourite meditation and relaxation music.

A most beautiful piece, thank you. X
