Falling in hospital was no less terrifying than falling...
...on the parking lot at my Coffee House...
...or pool side out back - when I fought gravity to keep from falling into the pool...
...no less terrifying than when I have fallen in various places in my home...
...like falling forward into my Bath Room sink. Or falling forward from the commode.
No matter when or how or why, the everytime I fell or have fallen, it has been utterly terrifying.
The huge negative in hospital is to become a statistic and gain yet another label, "Fall Risk". With "Fall Risk" rules and don'ts and do's and a Bright Yellow Fall Risk sticker on my hospital bracelet...and two yellow "Fall Risk" magnets on my door and hospital issued yellow socks...
What a spectacle. Just going to get chilled water - went to make a left turn and I felt as if an imaginary rug was swiftly yanked from under foot...all happened with a blink of an eye. Like, I get knocked down again and I get up again.
And again...
...my Path..
