Thanks Joanne, I am feeling better today. I do actually have a mobile phone already, unfortunately, having it on me when I fall wouldn't be practical, I usually tend to fall forward trapping both arms under me (yesterday's back flip was an aberration), I'd probably break the phone! But I am going to organise a personal safety alarm that will go off if I fall and can't use my arms.

Then you'll always be able to call for help as the phone will be on your person. I have a co-worker who has a really fancy cell phone that calls, has caller ID, works as her email connection, calculator, in short does just about everything but tuck her in bed at night. She does not have a regular phone in her house, her cell phone is it. a monthly charge for lots of minutes etc.Cost her less per month than my ordinary phone does. I really hope this new day finds you pleasantly surprised at being less rather than more sore.
