The Fall

Tuesday night, August 26,2014, I got up from bed to go to the bathroom.  I went around the bed holding on to the bed.  My legs were feeling like rubber, but I kept going thinking that I could make it.  I fell right on top of Dan, then it's all kind of a blur, but I thought if I could take a couple more steps I would make it to the handicap bar (we had put in for Mother when she lived with us) and the counter top, then I could stabilize myself.  But my legs had other ideas and since they were feeling like"Gumby",  down I went, banging my head on the metal strip where the shower doors slide into, leaving a nice mark right down the middle of my forehead.  I also landed on my right arm leaving several bruises.  I really don't understand why my legs are so weak.  I started Physical Therapy this week and have gone 3 times, working on strengthening and balance.
