Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hello Donna, I know falling is so scary! When I fall... my body just starts trembling. I learned it's best to let the fear emotions out by crying. I then check for injuries. I have an antique telephone booth... which I turned into an elevator. When I fall, I crawl over to it and put myself, and my crutches into it. I than raise it up to where I can stand up. Us CMT'ers...need to be creative ;-) I use crutches, a wheelchair and am trying to learn to walk again in my Helio's stabilizers. I'm regaining muscle from wearing the braces. This should help keep me independent longer. My sister used to say that every time a new fireman was added to the staff...he might as well plan on seeing her bottom. ;-) Her caregivers had to call the fire department when they would get in a difficult situation. I'm so modest...I would probably die of embarrassment! I'm also trying to lose weight...I know it will help in all area's of my life! It's raining on the Beautiful Oregon Coast!
