Having read Susie's good news thread and smiled at her dive to catch the dog I was thinking of things that have happened to us "post-ops" that made our hair stand on end.
Because, I nearly had a major fall the other day which in hindsight, must have looked incredibly funny.
I was power-walking at high speed along the beachfront with a friend and the toe of my jogger caught a rise in the pavement and I went forward. Friend didn't see what happened but he saw me veer off onto the grass at an odd angle. Head forward with feet going 90 to the dozen to catch up with my head. After it happened, I realised I had one hand on my back, as if it might save it. At the time I thought, "I'm going down and I'm going to break a rod." But my feet did catch up to my head and I regained my balance. Friend said my feet looked a bit like the Road Runner.
That's something not often mentioned, that I've seen. When your back is rigid, you don't have quite the same balance as before. You can't pull backwards in quite the same way, when you're going over forwards, ditto backwards.
Anyway, no harm was done.
Anybody else experience a post-op fall, lunge or dive?
