So you want to know how to fall,  Well here is an easy way to do it<\/div>\n
Any nincompoop can learn to fall,  Here is how I did it,<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
1)  Complain \u201cCannot sleep, I\u2019m going downstairs to watch TV\u201d<\/div>\n
2) Best if there is no response.  Your partner is asleep
<\/p>\n
3) Slip put of bed and carefully descend 14  stairs to the main floor<\/div>\n
where you have a walker waiting<\/div>\n
4) wobble with the walker to the refrigerator and eat a tub of yogurt or make <\/div>\n
a salami Sandwich<\/div>\n
5) Decide to go back to bed<\/div>\n
6) Do the wobble walk back to hte walker<\/div>\n
9{ Park the wobble walker at right angle to the stairs<\/div>\n
100 Release the walker.. both hands<\/div>\n
11) Feel the rush of freedom,,,Enjoy it for a second or two<\/div>\n
12) Twist away from the walker.   Savour the adrenaline rush for a millisecond more<\/div>\n
13)  Ask yourself \u201cAm I airborne?<\/div>\n
14)  ask yourself  \u201cAm I in full flight?  You will be,<\/div>\n
15)  Feel your surgery leg collapse,,,shatter or wobble<\/div>\n
16) The rest is automatic,,,you may pivot or you may plunge<\/div>\n
17) I pivotted briefly then crashed into the fireplace where an<\/div>\n
assortment of  devils awaited,<\/div>\n
18) A large tinware fox managed  to slice both hands\u2026hungry fox <\/div>\n
19) My head hit a stoneware duck which we thought was ornamental\u2026sliced<\/div>\n
a lock of hair  with scalp along for the ride<\/div>\n
20) Still swivelling I conked myself on the bottom stair<\/div>\n
21)So terribly weak <\/div>\n
22) raising to my only good knee was a challenge<\/div>\n
23) blood <\/div>\n
24) \u201cMarjorie, I am hurt down here\u2026..help!<\/div>\n
25)  Crawling up 14 stairs to awaken Marjor she took over \u2026..mopping up the blood\u2026bandaging<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
NOTE:  AT what number did this cease to be a joke?<\/div>\n
\n

It was no joke\u2026easy to fall,,,dreadfull<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Al\u2019s knee is hard to bend Fell in floor at 3am cut his head and hand on fireplace area just away from railing . Bled more than usual as he has been on blood thinners . Relaxed finally after cleaning up and finding larger bandaids . Back at physio again and only one more time . Need to have a physio for house \ud83c\udfe1. Looking into it  . Got to flatten that knee . <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

.Alan fell last night at 3am. After bandaging and cleaning up his head wound and hands and fingers and surrounding blood \ud83e\ude78 all through stairs and floor , I finally got him back to sleep at 5 am till 8 am and then off to Physio at 9:30 . Anxiety is a dreadful nighttime issue . I had to reassure him that the wounds and bruises would heal and the blood was from all the blood thinnng  pills before surgery . He bled again at physio on chair and floor but got through his exercises better even though it hurt . Reward was after in the lobby for all to enjoy . A coffee and muffin and a piano and bass violin . He is back home at 1 pm. <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
