Not my best move

Last week I took my first tumble...

Now I have a lump on the back of my stupid head as well as a sore mid back.  I was sitting on my walker chair and passed out, likely had a seizure.  I fell backward and got stuck in between the bars of the walker and had the seat pushing into the middle of my back. 

I couldn't lift my neck nor push myself out of the walker for some time.  Ki was trying to call and came home to find the walker lying on its back and me lying on the couch.  It must have taken about an hour for me to crawl to the couch.  I was so lucky he was trying to call and came home to then take me to the ER at Good Samaritan hospital.  We took a CT and no problems, and the ER doc saw no change in the tumors in my head from the last scan.

So I'm behind in my progress for healing, but at least nothing overly serious happened (whatever - I'm mad that I didn't get to the couch earlier.).   The day before I asked my physical therapist to help me climb the stairs and I zipped up two flights by holding one banister and he and Ki where both amazed, so that was cool.

At least we didn't have to go to see Cindy Lauper that weekend...  Okay I'm so joking, as that would have been a great outing.  I'm still taking the "bake a lasagna" challenge Vincent threw out last week.  I'm assembling it tonight and baking it tomorrow.  I make a great lasagna, except poor Ki has to get the esoteric vinegar I need for marinades but we have a monster Market of Choice for ingredients here close to the hospital.

Stupid head...
