Well fell on my ass today. You don't realize how much strength you've lost until something like this happens. I was getting ready to take a nap with my trilogy. Sat on edge of my bed and my feet (had socks on) started sliding forward. I have a nightstand right by my bed, grabbed it with both hands. Still went down like a ton of bricks. My wheelchair was about six feet away. I srarted dragging myself towards the chair. Took 10 minutes and I was dripping with sweat and completely out of breath.
After beeping the horn on the chair for a few minutes, my son, who was upstairs heard it and came to my rescue. Then I cried like a baby for 20 minutes. Didn't get a scratch but still can't believe I'm this helpless. Having my pwc and other equipment gives me a false sense of security. Really hurts, not physically but emotionally.
