At 12:00 Noon, CST 11/21/2022, I was in the bathroom, had just stood up and was attempting to zip my khakis and tumbled over. I hit my shoulder against the shower door and the rest of me against the floor.

My wife had already gone to lunch in our dining hall, so I waited about 45 minutes to call her on my cell to get some guys to come and help me up. When I called, she said the Administration Staff forbade any such work by other residents. We had to call EMT!

Well, I had crawled out of the bathroom into my den but am a little sore from the fall and weak from P.T. earlier this morning. So, I must lie there until EMT comes to help. Other than being a little sore on my shoulder and rib cage, I am O.K.

I am not used to being so helpless as this. But guess it is the future. Sometimes, I am a little lightheaded, or dizzy, so, I never know what to expect. Getting old is not for sissies! It makes me wonder if I can make it until Wednesday my birthday!

I haven’t been counting but believe I have fallen at least a dozen times over the past year or so. Earlier, I attributed my falling to just not paying attention, but now am sure some of it was because I have very low blood pressure and that brought on dizzy spells. Even though I will always count to 20 when I start to get out of bed during the night, but that isn’t working as well as before. I haven’t thought it necessary to count to 20 after sitting on the toilet. Sometimes, I will receive a scrape, or a cut. Most of the time, I don’t lose any blood and I didn’t this time.
I guess I had better update my obituary. I have one but it is out of date, so I need to whip out a more current one. Well, it seems so unfair. I usually feel as good as if I am 40ish, but my body obviously does not agree at times.

When I depart, I am sure I will not be reincarnated as a jackrabbit in Montana. But I enjoy storytelling so much, if I can, I will try to communicate back to you. It might just happen that when one of you catches a fish, it might try to talk to you, or give you a short-written message from me.

From what I have read in the Holy Bible, only two men were ever allowed to have a view of Heaven. Neither of them knew whether it was an in-body, or out-of-body experience, but they were told they could not tell all they saw! These were Paul and John. Look for yourself. Now. Daniel had a look at the future, but I don’t think it included Heaven. Just Sayin…RJS

Well, the EMT guys helped me up and I am fine. They immediately started asking about the fish mounted, and pictures of fish in my Man Cave.

My shoulder and ribs are sore, but otherwise, I am fine. Thanks for your care and prayers. Just Sayin...RJS

Well, finally my medical sales training has finally surfaced and I now know that it is Miniseries Syndrome, or Inner Ear problems more than low BP. I will schedule another DR visit to address the problem. It scares my wife more than me. Just Sayin...RJS

So sorry to hear Mr Samples. Perhaps one of those additions that raises the toilet seat would make less of bending over and getting dizzy? Just a thought. Keep thinking your 40 but move your body appropriately. We are waiting for many more stories!!

Wow!! Amazing story! I see why your faith runs so deep!!


Once you see God’s power in a miracle like this, it’s impossible to not believe! It was the same way when Jesus walked the earth. Many people became believers when they witnessed His miracles.
He is still the same God today, as He was then.
We just have to exercise a little faith - the faith He has given us all.

“For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

WOW Randy, quite the testimony. Thanks for sharing this with us.
So glad your Dad got to do some unfinished business.


Dad had only been a Christian for a few years when this happened and was not real big on sharing his faith up until that time. During those ten years, he more than made up for it. He would even go with Mom to Krogers and sit on the bench near the entrance, and share with whoever happened to sit down. Even after his emphysema forced him to use an oxygen pack, he would take it with him and continue leading strangers to the Lord. 🙏🏻
