Atring and I went to the Casino to have some fun. While we were there, I needed to go to the restroom. Normally that is not such a big deal, but I have had problems standing, and even getting up from a sitting position. Anyway, I went to the head and found the stall for disabled people, of which I am sadly a member. I parked my wheelchair and turned it off. I stood with much effort and prepared to do my business, Suddenly my legs buckled, and I am down on the floor and wondering how to get up. I suddenly feel so helpless, In a bathroom alone and needing help..and I cannot talk. I sat bewildered trying to get up. But the restroom floor is very slick and there s nothing I can grab to help me up. I had my dynavox speech maker.I typed in "Help Me Please."
After about 20 minutes someone opened the door to the stall. It was a big guy. He said
"Do you need help?" He came over and got me up by the arms, but I kept slipping down. He finally lifted me by putting his arms around me and putting me in my chair.
I breathed a sigh of relief. I thanked him so many times, gave him my card.. and I left. I have never felt so useless and helpless. Thank God I got help.
