In the heat of the moment

Hottest Sydney Day on record/ 45.8 at Observatory Hill at 2:54 pm
35 in the house

About 6 pm I went to the Kitchen
Legs folded and I was on the floor
Rolled onto Stomach and then tried to get ontp my hands and knees. Floor was slippery with sweat. Hands and forearms kept slipping as I pushed backwards. Knees also slipped.

Tried to do a 180 degree turn 0 lying on my side but couldn't push with my legs
Rolled onto back to let sweat evaporate. After a few attempts of a quixk roll onto stomach and push up, I got ontp my hands and knees.
Did 180 degree turn and then collapsed at kitchen door,

Dragged forward to get knees off kitchen floor
Got onto hand and knees again
Pushed walker onto lounge carpet
Collapsed
Got onto Hands and Knees again
Crawled forward to carpet
Collapsed
Walker was in the way still and blocking me getting my knees onto carpet
Rolled onto side and pushed it back past myself to side of loungeout of the way
Got onto Hands and Knees again
Got onto walker
Fell over again at hallway entrance
Got up once but couldnt get my left leg to move. I was stuck holding the walker, with my righ leg supporting me. Left leg was off to one side and wouldn't move.
Decided to fall over and start again

2nd time worked
Got to the study and sat down
This took 2 hours. I heard the southerly change come through while I was on the floor. It cooled things enough that my legs started to work
