I fall often, too. My right foot drags and sometimes it's because of tripping on rugs, which I have since gotten rid of all that I can but mostly it's because my hips and knees just buckle and give out on me. If I bend my right knee even slightly, I'm going down and I know it. The really bad part is, when I fall, I can't get back up without my husband lifting me. I can't even crawl or scoot to a piece of furniture by myself. When home alone, I carry a phone with me at all times, every step I take. Oh, and Cindy, my husband installed safety bars in the shower area for me and got me a shower chair. I couldn't groom myself without them and they were fairly cheap.  |
"MDJunction has become a lifeline to my recovery. I use this site as a daily coping tool where i can share my thoughts,my fears and ask ways to cope with living life with a illness. I also found new friends here and they have restore my faith in humanity. People everywhere come here to share same problems or solutions to problems we encounter in our lives. MDjunction is a wonderful site and has help not only myself but also my family and friends. I recommend this site to anyone who thinks they are alone dealing with an illness and also to those who have love ones who suffer from illnesses. I will keep spreading the word about MDJunction to organizations who deals with illnesses that would benefit having MDjunction as a support system.Bottom line is.. I found myself again through MDJunction" (mobey)
