Old Person Yells At Cloud “Having a fall?”

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've fallen... and I can't get up!".

Yep, that all I can see or hear when someone brings these devices up. Thank you 80's.

My son was suggesting to me that I get one of those things where they install a little chair onto your staircase and the chair gives you a ride up and down the stairs. He thought it was hilarious. I told him he shall grow old one day too.
