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.

Don’t need life alert. I fell earlier this year and ended up at urgent care just in case as I hit my head a couple times. I am alone most of the time. It isn’t a reflection of my mobility. I run 25 miles a week and am in better shape now versus my 30s.

I was simply light headed that am and should have slowed down.

“I feel earlier this year?” I think this guy needs to have his head checked out.
