  1. Dianny,
    At least you didn’t have to pee like a Russian Race Horse, or you would’ve probably walked right through that wall, then needed carpenters and painters for those repairs as well.

    Take care and get well soon.

  2. A couple years ago, I got up from the bed to go to the bathroom. Rounding the foot of the bed, I stepped on a shoe and rolled my ankle. Stumbling, I placed both hands out in front of me to catch myself on the foot of the bed. All would have been perfectly fine, had our 70lb lab not been laying at the foot of the bed, right where I landed. As soon as my hands hit the bed, his head shot up up—fast and hard. His rock-hard dome cracked against my orbital bone, and I nearly blacked out.

    Going to the bathroom killed Elvis, and I can see why.

  3. Going to the bathroom in the middle of the night for seasoned citizens can be hazardous. Not at the stage where I need, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” assistance yet, but after hitting my shins on junk I keep leaving in the hall, or just miss tripping over a pet, you kind of think about an alarm necklace…just in case.

    Praying you get well soon, Dianny. You might want to visit a non-Covidian doctor to check that you don’t have a concussion.
    BTW, Yes, get motion night lights. They do help.

  4. Oh boy!
    God bless and prayers you heal quickly!

    I thought I was clumsy as after this many years I still run into the footboard of the bed and almost always have a bruise on my thigh.
    Eugenia’s right. Nightlights.

  5. My dog strategically places those hard nylon bones in all the major traffic patterns in the house. I’m amazed I haven’t busted my ass and pissed myself skating across the hardwoods in the middle of the night.
