When I got home, I needed to go downstairs for something, both my husband and my brother wanted to help me but me being so stubborn refused their help. At the second step I went down on my butt all the way down…. And then still needed help to get back up.
One night we went out to eat at a local brewery, this was really the first time I was out in public. It was nice because it was my brother and his family with us there. I had to go to the bathroom, so I excused myself and went to the bathroom. There was someone in the handicapped bathroom and I figured I would just take the little, cause I really had to go.
I finished and realized I didn’t have the strength to get off the toilet without some sort of assistance. I thought maybe I could use the toilet paper holder but then I was like um, I could see my self putting my weight on it and ripping it off the wall, I would fall down with my pants down unable to pull myself back, I would have to wait there until someone found me. So that idea was down the toilet.
I tried to press my arms up against the walls and shimmy up the walls until I was able to stand. Trying that didn’t work, I still didn’t have enough strength to do that. I was starting to freak out, how was I going to get out of this stall. There was nobody in the bathroom, so I thought maybe if I just slide off the toilet and then push off the toilet with my hands that might work. With no one in there to see my this possible epic failure I went ahead and did it. Success, I pulled my pants up and went straight to the sink to wash my hands. Thank God no one was in there with me cause I am sure someone would have been like ” what the hell is wrong with this crazy lady”. I was so embarrassed, I didn’t tell anyone about this.
