Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I apologize for my words on the Companion. It is not marathon, it is Companion T. Bruce, I am delighted you just loved your dessert I gave you. That really pleases me, but what I am about to tell you and the whole group I will say one time, so I don't have to repeat it. Lou is on a warpath of destruction. At 4 a.m. this morning I was in bed (yes with Earl) lying on my back, and I always take my left hand and reach over my body to grab the edging of the huge tall mattress we have to help turn my body over so I am leaning on the right side of my body. Get it??? Destruction cometh now. I no sooner did that then WHAM,BHAM, and CRASH. This stupid stupid woman fell out of bed and went crashing on the floor, hit my chin on the night stand, and hit my left leg just under the knee area, and was curled up in a fetal position waiting for those 5 men waiters in black to rescue me. But lo and behold, there standing in front of me is Earl, so handsome he is, saying: are you ok, are you ok, (what else would he say, pray tell!!) GOOD GRIEF. I was ok AGAIN. Again, fortunate I did not break anything. He did have to help me up as I was afraid I had broken something. I feel ok this morning, no pain anywhere, I must bounce pretty good. Earl is extremely concerned with this now, 2 times in 24 hours, he is really worried. The first fall at the restaurant, I did have a 7' cannula, but it just got tripped up on my left ankle. As for falling out of bed this morning, I can not explain it. I have never done that not even as a child. Am I becoming a child and starting over??????????????? God, I hope not!! We have one of those beds that you just can not plop down on. It is a very tall thick mattress. Great once you are in there, but I think it is a good idea to sleep on the floor from now on. O no !!!! I am so sorry for all you loved ones here on the board who are experiencing difficulties with this disease and other potential diseases that could be arising within you, only thing is I pray so very hard for all of you not to have anything happen to you and for our Creator to keep you safe. Never praying for myself, too busy, but guess I'd better start, huh? I am going to sit today right here in front of the " puter " . Not going to move until I need more coffee. BE BRAVE TO ALL WHO ARE HAVING PF PROBLEMS. I LOVE YOU THIS DAY MARY LOU (74) RIGHMOND VA IPF = 02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Oh Lou, I am so sorry. Maybe look on line for a 1/2 bed rail. They only are 2 or feet long and makes turning much easier. I am looking into one. It just seems like when it rains it brings HURRICANES.. I am tired of it to. I think the falls you have had are teariable but understandable. Maybe you should let your Doc know about it. Please hold on tight and take care of you !!! RULE.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Lou You're either frightening or entertaining or both. Glad you're ok so we can all laugh with you. Amazing those strange things that just happen to us. I got a concussion a few years ago doing my laundry and hitting my head on the shelf. Now, no more falling out of bed. > > I apologize for my words on the Companion. It is not marathon, it is > Companion T. > > Bruce, I am delighted you just loved your dessert I gave you.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Lou, you aren't the only person who can fall out of bed. A few mornings ago I was beginning to rise up with my feet barely off the mattress when I was hit in both calves with cramps of excruciating pain. Trying to get up on my feet to walk them out, my legs got entangled in the comforter, pulling me over the edge. I hit the floor with a thud, leaving a vicous pain in the back of my head and a large scrape on my left shoulder. It still has a crusty scab. It was all momentary and did not inferfere with my breakfast. I did feel a bit juvenile. The widow across the street brought me lunch.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Jack, Funny how a discussion about falling out of bed brings up all kinds of things. I had a neighbor in NY. Maureen is about 10 years younger than I am, 38 or so, a busy at home mom of 4. A couple of years ago her husband had all the children out for a couple of hours and she decided to take a quick nap. She laid down on her husbands side of the bed and because of that was somewhat disoriented when she woke up. She fell out of bed hit the back of her neck on the bedside table and ended up in the hospital for 8 weeks with a severe spinal cord injury. After several weeks in the ICU and then step down, she went to a rehab hospital for another 9 weeks. It was a nightmare for her family. The whole neighborhood pitched in and took turns bringing food to the family for months. Oh my goodness, I'll never forget what they went through. Fortunately she's fine now, good as new. Who would have thought that falling out of a bed that's less than 2 feet off the ground could do that kind of damage. Scary. How are the plans for your move coming? When can we in the great state of North Carolina expect you? Beth-Moderator Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 UCTD 06/08 "Take chances, make mistakes and get messy!"

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Now Lou, you know that a gentleman never tells. And I insist that I am a gentleman no matter what people say. That's just jealously on their part. They don't understand that being irresistible is not all that it's cracked up to be. It can cause problems, the nature of which I would rather not discuss in an open forum such as this one. All I'm willing to say is that the widow is generous.
