Had a bad fall in the (walk-in) shower ?

MissAdventure

It should be called a "walk in, hobble out" shower.

Proliferation isn't the problem.

Ahh, now all those adverts for walk in baths, bath lowering contraptions make sense!! You know, the ones where a middle aged lady ,in full makeup, with a perfect coiffure and dressed in a blue or pink bathing suit, is taking a bath in her own home . She’s had a fall in the past and her elderly dad had to help her up. Perhaps that’s the answer FH, wear a swimsuit next time you take a shower!

FH you must admit many of your threads concern falls you have had. I remember one to domwith falling into a wardrobe.
This is why posters suggest there may be a reason.

....and the wall that fell when you tripped, causing beetles to pour out of it.

The best one was the wardrobe though, with it’s secret rail.

Don’t think OP is listening

What, beetles in the shower?
Like an Egyptian plague?

Or was it Narnia?
Were there fur coats on the rail?

Actually, I think I may have the answer.

Flying - do you fly a lot, FlyingH?
When I've flown I sometimes have problems with my ears and that affects your balance.

? to me

I think it maybe down to low blood pressure, or, Saturday night fever ??

I thought the cold cup of tea was the most riveting.

Oh you can be sure they're listening. That's the purpose of the threads.

Well this has been a very entertaining thread, I must say. Cheered me up no end. But I feel sure it is going to be deleted...... Any...... minute.......... now.

Oooh, 22.22, think I'll go to bed. Night, night folks.

The night is young, Discogran!

Anyone else yawning?

Must be nearly bed time.

Sleep well.

Forgive me if I don't add kisses, but will send every good wish.

There’s so many to chose from
I liked the sliding down the wall after eating dinner on the floor one

I have missed so many- maybe I was sulking instead of reading posts when I also was told to FO. I was educated at a good Catholic school and I do not really understand language like that. There is a first time for everything and that was my first FO.

I'm still up. Now I want to know about that one, Bluebelle

First time for everything, as they say Charleygirl Hopefully this will also be your last.

Hugs hun, mwah mwah!

Yikes! Scary!

I agree that you should rest up. A couple of additional pieces of advice:

-it might be a good idea for your mum and dad to keep an eye on you for the next couple of days. This is just in case you hit your head. I am not sure how old you are, but in people over 65, especially, you can sometimes see brain problems develop days after a head injury. If your brain is having problems, it can be hard to determine for yourself if you're having issues as you've damaged the very thing you're using to see if you're okay.

-you may like to think about installing grab bars, as a PP suggested, or even getting yourself a shower chair, maybe. This is a plastic chair that you put in the shower so you can sit on it. (If it makes you feel any better, not only old people use shower chairs. We used to use them for new mums when I worked in hospital. Understandably the mums would want a shower after the baby was born, and we would put the chair in so they wouldn't pass out from their BP dropping due to the water being warm.)

-if the falls are becoming a recurring issue I'd strongly recommend that you see your provider. Depending on what's happening at the time of the fall, they may order some tests to see if there is a physical problem, and they may also be able to refer you to professionals such as physical and occupational therapists. PT can help improve muscle strength, and OT professionals can help determine if there is equipment and things you might need at home to reduce your risk for falls and improve your safety.
