I go to Cleveland Clinic at the end of the week to see the ALS nurse for a checkup.

Before I go to my appointments at the clinic, I fill out a questionnaire online to update the people at the clinic with any changes in my condition from my last visit.
One of the questions, is> Have you fallen  at all in the past two months???
I completed the questionnaire last night and I was able to answer NO.
I should have waited until this evening to complete it....
I opened the blinds in one of the bedroom windows to let the setting sunlight into the window to better see my computer keyboard, and, when I turn away from the window,  my right foot did not make the turn and I ended up falling with my foot going into & through  the box fan that was sitting on the floor....
Once I began the fall, I could not stop myself.....

I stayed on the floor where I landed to see if I had done anything major to myself....
and waited with Reuben the brown Lab who 'comforted' me the best he could by staying close until my husband Brent came in and found me.

I seem to be OK....though, I know already that I pulled some muscles..I can feel that.
I was lucky the floor was soft with the carpeting.
I was afraid that I had injured the ankle, but that seems ok.

I noted in my recent post Dexterity Part 1 that I had been noticing some physical changes, recently and this was further verified tonight.....

I have so much to look forward to.................................NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
