Hi Everyone 👋🏾 if anyone has experienced slight fevers and fell down always remember "lift assist" when calling 911. They then know to send the correct paramedics that it's not a life/death situation after answering their questions regarding bleeding, being unconscious, etc.. over the last 7-8 years this has happened to me and a high temperature is only 99-100 so not extremely high but it still took a toll on me. That's why I now have 2 sets of canes and walkers. And definitely do not have a friend, family member, etc to try to catch you while falling because dead weight is almost impossible to prevent and they can hurt themselves while trying to help
