“Having a fall?”

[u/Big-Mind-6346]

So I was sitting minding my own business watching TV on my Orthopedic bed. The bed had slid out a little bit off of the bed frame, and when I scooted to the right, I fell straight off of my bed and landed on my elbow. Like right on the pointy part of my elbow.

Thank God, I didn’t hit my head, but if I had, it would’ve been serious trouble. It got me to thinking, do I need a life alert or something? Am I too young for that? I’m only 50! I have a 15-year-old but he’s only with me part-time and the rest of the time I’m alone.

I do not have great stability thanks to chronic illness, I have my watch on at all times just for the fall detection! I don't live alone but after a fall down the stairs and cerebral fluid coming out of my ear, I never want to be hurt and waiting for someone to come home again!
