  Have you ever fallen?

  I fell once at 3:00am on the tile floor of the bathroom.  Never in my life had I felt so lonely, so full of hopelessness and despair.  I had gotten out of bed to use the bathroom and next thing I knew, I lost my balance and my head hit the tile floor with a resounding thud. As I lay there, I broke out into a cold sweat, was nauseous and knew I was bleeding from the head but I couldn’t move.  Finally, after a while, I dragged myself to get back into bed, trying to decide if I should call 911.

  Since the bleeding stopped, my vision was okay and I was no longer dizzy, I chose not to call for help.  I got an xray later that week and it showed no concussion, but it certainly scared me!  Never again will I laugh at that commercial where a person is laying on the floor saying : “Help!  I’ve fallen down and I can’t get up”.
