Down but not out lol

Taking the bin out on Thursday night forgot about pavement lost my balance down I went. Still a bit  painful but on we go no great damage a few cuts on LEDs and arm buttwe go on.

Oh no hope your ok des ,it's so easy to do even when not had a stroke,stay positive,x

Sorry to hear this Des. After my stint on rehab, the physiotherapist told me to expect a few falls. These happened several times in the first year home, but less so since. My strength and balance classes have helped enormously, but I still totter occasionally. I've also been taught how to get up from a fall, which is invaluable.

Too easy to be busy and forget our brains are also busy but not attending to our conscious self.

I always expect to fall and always have a safety net. Walking stick or a fork in the ground. Every location I move to, I think what I will do if I stumble. Annoying at first, but now it is second nature.

having said that, when I take the bins out there isn't any safety net option. 
 

hope you are fully recovered

Hope you are ok been working in the backyard all ok so far lol

Thanks hope all things go according to plan with best regards des

Thankyou des x

Ouch, at least it wasn't too bad, and I am glad you are okay. Whenever I incur any sort of mild physical injury now, it kind of distracts me from the bigger issues I have. The increased bleeding from anti-platelet meds can be a bit disconcerting though, but at least we know they are working.

When I was having my unbeknown TIAs, I was cleaning out some demijohns, and I accidently put too hot water in one, the bottom cracked off and extremely hot water splashed all over me, I slipped, and sliced my hand and arm, and I slid on the floor. Looking back, I now understand how precarious simple tasks can be with stroke symptoms to manage at the same time. 

Thanks hope all is going well des

Thanks des
