Mark thinks I need a Life Alert button. After yesterday, and even though I'm only 42, I might have to agree with him. But, I only agree with him to a degree. I certainly would not want to become the reason that rescue personnel laugh hysterically.
I fell. Not just any ordinary fall. A naked fall. A naked fall out of the bathroom. It was like someone ripped the floor out from under my feet.
I put my hands out in front of me as best I could and went down like a Vegas hotel being leveled for a newer and better one. I thought for a moment that I might have broken one or more of my wrists. And then I cried. Not a cute little whimper, but an all out wail.
The backstory at this point is that Andrew was home and in his room with headphones on and the television too. About 5 minutes later he heard me and attempted to come to my rescue.
When he realized my predicament, and then, his, he made a hasty retreat and shut the door and called out, "Are you okay, mom?"
I'm thinking to myself, "no, I'm not okay, but there is no way you are coming in here to pick me up!" Long story short, I finally got up, assessed my level of injury, and got dressed.
Later that evening, we had a pretty good laugh about it. Brittany thinks I need one of those nurse pull strings like they have in the hospital bathrooms. She also thinks I need OnStar for my bathroom. It's great that my family is always there with the humor quick recovery program.
But, I am so sore today.

I am sorry you fell. Sometimes it happens so fast. I do feel sorry for you. You are still in our prayers. Hang in there with the rest of us. It isn't over until the fat lady sings. We love you and your family.
Hey your back! It might be at your own expense but you found something to blog about that in its own way is funny. Sorry to hear about your fall. I don't know if I should say poor Charmen or Andrew!
YIKES!
I would say you need a nice slippery proof mat more than you need an emergency button.
You really could have fractured something, watch for swelling.
Wow! I hope you are feeling better!
Wow.....ouch! While I do feel sorry that you fell, I must say I love your playlist! I minimized your blog so I could listen to it as I caught up on other people's blogs! Thanks!
