What Happened

by Jeanette Hoff

If someone had approached me and asked “what’s wrong?” I would not have been able to answer. It seemed that I was just out of it. I mean, I could not remember what had happened. I found myself totally and completely without a clue.

“Why was I on the floor?”

It seems as though I might have been pushed. Memory or the lack of it can really be upsetting. Not even to remember what I was doing on the floor.

Anyway, perhaps I should at least try to pick myself up. Cautiously, I did just that – and made sure I could stand upright.

But what an experience. “Why did I fall?”

One always feels, ‘perhaps I fainted’. I guess old age is always a suspect.
