Nothing major but definitely an eye opener. Walking into Trent’s basketball game I took a little fall. I’m fine and not hurt, well my pride is and I’m a little sore, but nothing some advil won’t take care of. My legs were fine until they weren’t and I went down. Bryan was and the boys were there but were a few feet in front of me bc I was walking slow and carefully. There was anything onto trip on, I had the right shoes on, there wasn’t ice, my legs just were done. Bryan turned around and was there before I hit the ground, Baelor and Trent both had a look of concern and started to help. One of Trent’s teammates saw it happen and was there instantly to help. He barely knows me (if at all) but ran over to help and ask if I was ok.
I was embarrassed and kept apologizing. I’m scared that it is going to happen again, I know it will- it’s Al part of neuropathy/lack of feeling in my legs and feet. It’s scary to think of. But I’ll take it one day at a time, continue my pt to help with my balance, start to use a walker when I go out and the wheelchair on the really bad days.
I’m not going to say I won’t be embarrassed if it happens again, because I know I will be.
Tonight I’ll heat up the heating pad a little more, lay down after I’ve taken my advil (and all my other meds) and rest my body. If I’m this sore tonight it’s apt to be worse tomorrow.
Tonight I’m thankful I didn’t hurt myself more. Im thankful for friends that have become part of my family and story. Im thankful for everyone that made Bryan’s birthday so special for us! Im thankful for my community.
