Fall

Thanksgiving was spent with my best friend and her family. I had a very good time and the food was great. 

However, when I was leaving, I fell down. This is the second year in a row that I've fallen down around Thanksgiving. There are some differences. Last year it took me a very long time to figure out how to get off the ground. In fact, I had a few panicked moments of wondering if I'd be stuck there forever. This year I was able to get up fairly quickly. I am in pain, but not as bad as I was last year. 

There is always a lot of fear after I have a fall. For one thing, I'm worried that I damaged something in a serious way. This has happened with some of my falls. I'm also worried that it will start a pattern where I fall all the time. I had to walk out to the car today and I was pretty scared about it. When I lose my balance, something in me starts to really panic about it. 

Anyway, outside of falling, the holiday was very nice.
