I had been having excruciating pain in my left knee. After seeing the dr., she gave me a shot in my knee. She said to take it easy for two or three days. The first morning after, I decided I could do laundry OK. It exhausted me, I will be 90 in July. I fixed a cup of coffee and water, put it on my rollator walker. I fell in the living room - on hardwood floor. I pushed my Life Alert button. I knew I couldn’t get up. I wasn’t hurt as it turned out. I am thankful.
