I am very lucky though My ex boyfriend told me he would be back later. He was going to bring his  boys. It was a mess I had to wait about a hour before he came back. I scooted on the floor until I reached my front door to unlock it. Finally when they came here later he helped me off of the floor. This has happened before but I had my mom here to go get some body to help me. I guess like it or not I need to get a braclet to be able to call some one for help. My little sister and her husband moved to his sister's house. I have a friend of there's living upstairs he is paying me rent but he wasn't here last night I don't think. I have a intercom for downstairs and upstairs but I couldn't reach it from the floor.I am goin to go see a Sports doctor I am sure I will have physical therapy agian. Maybe they can show me what to do to get off of the floor. hopefully he can help me get something incase this happens again. Having Multiple Sclrosis I have a time getting up off the floor of course I have a hard time but I know other people with this do also. I tried to pick something a bag up and that caused me to fall down on my back end. I am sore today but alright.

I hope your soreness doesn't last too long. Some kind of Life Ale that you wear might be a good idea for you with you MS.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 7:00pm UTC
I hope it doesn't either. Yeah I am going to ask for that braclet. This is getting scary.
J. McDole Jul 7, 2010, 6:02pm UTC
I had to learn to get up off the floor after hip surgery. That's a great question to ask the therapist. Glad you're okay, but sorry you're sore.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 7:01pm UTC
Yeah I am going to ask. I am not sure in my condition though.
Nora D. Jul 7, 2010, 6:04pm UTC
Oh my, oh my.....I'm sooooo terribly sorry to hear of your fall.........they really can be nasty....I know, I've taken a few this spring/summer myself......one time I couldn't get up and moving for about 20 minutes....LOL!!! You know, it might, indeed, be a good idea for you to get one of those bracelets so, in case you fall again, you can get help right away and not have to lay there on the floor. It certainly is NO fun, not being able to get up on one's own.
Sure hope you feel better soon.
Deserthope *. Jul 7, 2010, 6:15pm UTC
Shaunee, so glad that you are doing okay. I would definitely get one of those bracelets that calls out to 911, I think they even come in a watch style so it is not so "flashy" to other people that you have to have that.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 7:02pm UTC
that is a good idea to get it in a watch if I could.
Peter Joseph Swanson Jul 7, 2010, 6:21pm UTC
Oh no. Take care of yourself!
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 7:02pm UTC
thank you
Sandy M. Jul 7, 2010, 6:34pm UTC
Shaunee. I am glad you are ok. that is very scary. I think that bracelet would be a good thing for you. hugs.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 7:07pm UTC
Thanks Sandy I am going to ask about a bracelet for sure.
John Knight Jul 7, 2010, 6:37pm UTC
It sounds like it would be very wise to learn how to get up from the floor, and keep in practice as best you can. And perhaps get some sort of short ladder-like apparatus installed a few feet off the ground, to make it easier still . . . Do take care, and glad to here it turned out OK for you.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 7:06pm UTC
That might be a good idea I;m not sure though since I have to use a walker to walk now.
John Knight Jul 7, 2010, 7:13pm UTC
Hmm . . maybe some sort of modified walker, could be the short ladder . . that could be detached once one was standing up?

Anyway, don't be shy about asking, and inventing, if need be. Your mind is still a major asset, no doubt ; )
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 8:39pm UTC
That is a idea anything to help me to stand up I hate asking for help. I am glad my ex boyfriend was coming by if not I would have been stuck there.
Jean R B. Jul 7, 2010, 7:18pm UTC
Sorry, you fell but it could have been a warning to you. Get the bracelet.
I hope you will be all right.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 8:40pm UTC
Yeah it sure was a warning. I am a little sore from sliding on the floor but it could have been worser.
Jennifer F. Jul 7, 2010, 7:26pm UTC
I am so sorry to hear that! Take care!
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 8:44pm UTC
thank you
Heather E. Jul 7, 2010, 7:46pm UTC
I am glad someone was coming in to help you, what a blessing. Do whatever it takes to retain your independence as well as be safe, such as getting an alarm type bracelet. I worked for a while with a client with MS, and just this last year she had some physical therapy sessions that helped her with getting around better.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 8:37pm UTC
Yeah I had some recently they helped but I am going to try this Sports Doctor to see what he can do to help me. I am sure he will give me physical therapy which is fine if it helps me I am all for trying it.
Diane Huizenga Jul 7, 2010, 8:01pm UTC
I do hope you are feeling better today.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 8:41pm UTC
A little sore but better then I was last night.
RedBird. B. Jul 7, 2010, 8:21pm UTC
Sorry that you fell and not doing well. I sure Hope You will get to feeling Better Real Soon!
I'am glad to hear that you didn't hurt yourself worse.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 8:42pm UTC
Yeah me too. I am glad I landed the way I do from behind.
connie h. Jul 7, 2010, 8:36pm UTC
I'm sorry you fell I know the feeling I was watching my kids in a pool sitting in a hard plastic chair and the baby crawled upon me she is mommy's girl and the chair tipped over. but I'm lucky that someone else was there to carry a meltal swing over for me to pull my self up on.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 8:44pm UTC
I am glad they did. Yeah I got my ex to try bringing me a wooden chair to try to help me up but he ended up having to lift me up. I am glad he was able to.
connie h. Jul 7, 2010, 9:33pm UTC
I hate having handicaps and bad legs and hips. I'm glad that you are okay an your ex is nice enough to help you.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 10:24pm UTC

Amber C. Jul 7, 2010, 10:22pm UTC
I am so so sorry. But I'm so glad he came back when he did.
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 10:23pm UTC
Me to believe me I am glad we have stayed friends for so long.
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Jul 7, 2010, 11:38pm UTC
I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself any worse. Do you have a cell phone you could keep in your pocket if something like that happens again, then you could call someone?
Shaunee C. Jul 7, 2010, 11:53pm UTC
I have a cell phone it doesn't stay charged very long though I found that out today when I took mine off of the cord a couple of hours later I had to plug it back in which I hated I think I might try a boost cell phone. I use a virgin moblie it doesn't cost a lot and after today I can see why
Takani K. Jul 8, 2010, 1:50pm UTC

Shaunee C. Jul 9, 2010, 5:49pm UTC

Ms Lee P. Jul 11, 2010, 1:04am UTC
I'm glad you are okay. Falling is awful when you can't get up. I'm glad help arrived soon. Stay safe and stay well, please.
Shaunee C. Jul 11, 2010, 1:18am UTC
I sure will try to I am going to my doctor next week to try to get a device that can help me I know. I tried safe alert years ago and they told me I was to young to get it which seems unfair.
Felicia G. Jul 12, 2010, 11:43pm UTC
I hope things are going better for you now! Viewed for Fancy's Friends. :-)
Elizabeth S. Jul 13, 2010, 5:15pm UTC
You didn't mention any damage so that's good. My balance isn't good so I'm always worrying about falling.
Shaunee C. Jul 13, 2010, 10:38pm UTC
I am sore from it. See what I feel I have to get someone to help me back up. I have M.S. I hope it doesn't happen again anytime soon.
Marsha C. Jul 13, 2010, 8:38pm UTC
I hope you are better now
Shaunee C. Jul 13, 2010, 10:39pm UTC
I feel better now thank goodness.
Marilyn M. Jul 14, 2010, 9:53am UTC
So sorry to hear about your fall. It has to be hard when you're alone and unable to get around. Glad to hear you're doing better and hope you've given some thought to getting that bracelet. Take care, Shaunee. ^i^

~ff~
Shaunee C. Jul 14, 2010, 5:02pm UTC
It is but I keep a phone with me at all times now. Hopefully it won't happen again I am going to see my doctor this week I am asking about a braclet. I had tried calling in the past the lady said I was to young but hopefully my doctor can help me out.
Renda B. Jul 15, 2010, 9:03am UTC
Shaunee, I'm sorry you had this happen & am glad it wasn't worse. I was going to tell you that I always tell my patients to keep a phone with them, but I see you're doing that now from the comment above. I even tell people who don't have a problem falling to keep theirs with them, especially when they go outside. You never know when something will happen and to have a way to call for help can save your life.
Shaunee C. Jul 15, 2010, 7:14pm UTC
That is very true
Jenn P. Jul 15, 2010, 9:59am UTC
I'm sorry :(
Shaunee C. Jul 15, 2010, 7:14pm UTC
thank you
Linda T. Jul 16, 2010, 2:50am UTC
I am glad your considering getting one of those bracelets. It is a scary feeling to not be able to get up. Glad you were not seriously injured. FF
Shaunee C. Jul 16, 2010, 7:47pm UTC
Yeah me to that is the good part not getting hurt to bad or breaking any bones.
Paula C. Jul 31, 2010, 1:51am UTC
Bless your heart my friend. Hope you're feeling better by now
Shaunee C. Jul 31, 2010, 1:40pm UTC
Yeah I am ok now. I hope that doesn't happen again.
Trudy P. Jul 31, 2010, 1:57am UTC
Hope you are okay!
