Well, it is cold and windy and I did not feel too great and I am all alone so thought I would stay in bed this morning. OK till I needed a pee. NEver before any problem transferring bed to wheelchair but today that little bit of foot support and twist needed just was not there and I slipped to the floor. Amazing how we take gettingouselve sup for granted but how impossible when you are so damned weak. I tried for ages and ages but just got more disheartened. I saw a moment of light when I thought I would just stay there and die for the sake of ALS and all my friends - thought it might get some goodd publiciity. But I really needed that wee and my daughter is arriving tonight so the effect was spoiled/
luckilie the phone was on the bed and i managed to pull it off and ring my neightbour. No reply. Next neighbour - had burned his foot and could not move. His wife at work. Friends in the next village - we're on our way....
BUt even when they arrive it is not an easy thing to lift a dead weight off the floor and there were several no doubt amusing essays before we succeeded and then I am sure I put snot all over her lovely jumper cos I was a crybaby in her arms.
After they had gone and I was having that pee at last, the wife of the injured neighbour turned up to help, too, so that was kind. She was suppposed to be caring for th ekids in the playground at the village school and just left em.........
No damage done but does bring home the near imossibility of living alone.
Sorry I didnt pull off the magnificent gesture of dying for the cause. Have to organise it better next time
