5/3/16 Early update

After writing the blog last night, I walked down to the nurse's desk where there is a magazine rack to get a new one.  The rack is between knee height and ankle height.  I squatted down to put my magazine away and my feet in hospital socks slipped and I got dumped on my left bum.  Flying nurses, all concerned, "did you pass out, are you light-headed?" etc.  Wheel chair him back to the room.  Check his blood pressure a few times.  On and on.  The bad part, or inconvenient part, is that I have lost my "Independent Mobility" rating.  I have been downgraded to where I need a nurse with me to get out of bed or back in.  I'll be able to walk halls with Colleen and I hope to have the mobility status reinstated.  No bruise on the left bum.  It wasn't that far to go to hit bottom.  (OOH a really bad, unintentional pun).  The ego is bruised, took a beating. ~ John
