Mebog, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's feet and leg do not want to go up stairs.  I have had to lift my legs with my hands to get up stairs.  It is kind of embarrassing in front of an arena full of people.  We had seats on the arena floor for a Barry Manilow concert and the only way out was to climb the stairs.  Told me a really long time to get up them.  I even have trouble with my front step of my house.  Have to use my husband's arm to help me.
Primary SJS, dRTA, Osteroporis, OAB, stage 3 kidney disease, hypothyroid and high blood pressure.  Medicine I take are plaquenil, bicarb, prolia, synthroid, toprol and amolipine, citracal and vitamin D.  I use Arex and Azasite and Prolia.  I also have Reynaud's and osteoarthris of the toes

Thank you for speedy recovery wishes. I was sore most of the day, and even more sore today. Elaine was right. I knew that would happen. I think my wrist is ok. No major swelling. I think everything is just really sore. Wow, it didnt occur to me it was leap day. LOL.. Thanks for reminding me of that. Made me laugh. I was in the play room when I fell. That is the only room I do not make sure is clean and picked up. I let the kids have at it in there. My son, who is only 7 felt so bad that it happend. He was ready to pick it all up when he got home. I did buy some of those clear plastic bins joe mentioned. He sorted them all and put them in those.
A66eyroad, Im so sorry that happend to you. I hope you are ok today.

Luna and A66eyroad,

Humpy Dumpty had a great fall . . . See, you're in the same league as Humpty.  Hopefully you can pick up all your pieces and heal yourselves all together again quickly.

I've had a few falls in the past couple of years. Falls are not the same as they used to be.  Now they make my whole body ache, and lots of joints sore. It can make you just not feel well for a few days.  So I understand - falls when you already have other physical challenges linger longer than just a few minutes. They really can make you feel like Humpty Dumpty.

Get better soon, and take some nice warm baths. You may as well use the excuse to pamper yourselves!
