Sorry you fell dear girl! Anytime I've plopped on the floor, it has scared the living daylights out of me for some time. It's been quite a while (knock on wood :BashHead: ) but most of the time I couldn't pinpoint what happened. If your headaches continue, you might want to see the neuro to be sure nothing is wrong.

I feel for you regarding DMV -that stinks. I know you want your independence, that is understandable - I'm in the same boat - but mine is for financial reasons as I cannot afford a car. It stinks having to rely on others to take you places, I know.

(((hugs)))

hi katrina,

you may want to get examined by a doctor to make sure you're okay, and you shouldn't wait too long. so sorry about the setback, but i am sure in time, the injuries will heal and things will get better for you. perhaps you can find state or city transportation for the disabled to get you to where you need to go. hang in there, stay positive and take one day at a time.

Katrina:

sorry about your fall It is so different when we were kids & just learning to walk falling & getting up was part of growing up. I guess post stroke we can view it same way though it hurts more. glad you are healing and hopefully is nothin big deal though it's good idea to run by doctor & make sure nothing is wrong. So sorry about your transportation.BTW have you looked into recross medical transportation and county transportation services

lots of hugs,

Asha

katrina, i am so sorry to hear of your fall. ouch!! things happen we don't always understand. but i'm glad you only had minor boo-boo's. i think a trip to the neuro is a good idea, just to check everything out,esp. the headaches. it could just be stress, but just to be sure, go to the doctor, please. the driving thing, i know you want so badly. maybe the timing is not right for you right now. don't give up yet. use other means, like your other aunties suggested. enjoy your summer and relax for awhile. don't think all you've done to get your license was for nothing. just not now. try and keep your spirits up. don't get down on yourself for something you can't control. all good things come to those who wait. hang in there sweetheart and look forward to your birthday, that will be a happy day for you and family.
