Journal entry by Charmane Raye —
A couple mornings ago when I got up and walked out into the kitchen, I
accidentally slipped and fell. I ended up landing on my right arm but I
didn't realize it at the time. I think a muscle is just sprained. It has been
3 days and it still hurts when I bend it. I don't know if the neuropathy
in my feet contributed to my slipping and falling. When my feet and lower calves
became numb during the chemotherapy treatments, I thought there was a possibility
that I might fall. I have been using my cane for balance for months.
