After a a heavy rain I went out into the back yard to clear a drain that was supposed to carry water out under the wall. I knelt down and tried but couldn't do it. When I tried to get up I couldn't get up, but I did fall face first into the standing water. For some reason my old legs just wouldn't work. I resorted to calling for help for the first time in my life and a neighbor heard me. He came over and drug/carried me into a chair under the patio.OmCheeto said:Phew!

I thought you might be on vacation, or of course, at our age, dead.
I've got half a dozen PF members who are also Facebook friends, and I'm hoping they'll let you know when I've moved on to the great science experiment in the sky.
It certainly is interesting getting old. 7 of my 49 listed FB friends are no longer with us.
Weird.

For three days my lower legs were totally numb and useless. Then on the fourth day I could stand again with a walker. They never did figure out what caused the temporary paralysis. I spent a week in a rehab center where I met some really wonderful people.
