I nearly always take my phone with me when I take Mollie downstairs for a wee wee etc BUT last night I didn't,don't know why.... I got half way downstairs and whether I put wrong leg on step first or it just gave way I don't know but I collapsed in a heap on stairs and the pain,I was sitting bubbling for ages.I couldn't move ,my hubby was still at work and my phone was in living room .I just felt so vulanerable.My knee now has even less movement again and Im back with the stick around house.I was getting used to hobbling around house without stick.

Ouch , know exactly how you're feeling as I had a slither to the floor last year and wasn't carrying my phone at the time ! It's very scary isn't it ? I'm afraid I now carry my mobile in my bra to be sure it's with me . Hope you are on the mend after your fall . Jillyb0

Babytiger don't feel bad I'm sure we all get into our heads that we don't need to use our sticks in the house and we believe we don't need to carry our phones with us, cause nothing will happen. And it's when we are like this that accidents happen. I all ways end up not using my sticks around the house, and my OH will have a screaming fit that I'm not using them and of course he is always right because I will end up in a heap on the floor and my OH is straight out with the I told you so's!
I'm glad that you will carry your phone on you and use your sticks. But don't eat yourself up over it. hope your back to your normal self soon.0 -

Sending a hug and hope that your knee gets better again soon
