It was around midnight when Steve Hideg made a trip to his bathroom, got dizzy and took a fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hit my head over here,\u201d Hideg told me, pointing to the edge of his bathroom sink. He lay on the floor next to the bathtub for about 20 minutes, hoping to regain his strength and get back on his feet.<\/p>\n

Hideg, 91, is blind in one eye and deaf in one ear from injuries suffered when bombs rained on Budapest during World War II. In recent years he\u2019s become shaky on his feet, and he\u2019s taken several falls in his one-bedroom apartment in East Hollywood.<\/p>\n

But the one last August was a bad one.<\/p>\n

Photographer Francine Orr heard about it and alerted me. We\u2019d collaborated on a story about Hideg in 2017, when we learned the jazz drummer and band leader\u2019s rent was higher than his monthly income. At the time, he called his situation a \u201cbeautiful struggle.\u201d He was broke but still doing the thing he loved, playing in small bands here and there.<\/p>\n

On my latest visit, Hideg reenacted his fall and retraced the path he had crawled \u2014 about 15 feet from the bathroom to the kitchen. He felt dehydrated and needed a drink. Near the kitchen, he managed to pull himself to his feet, only to fall again.<\/p>\n\n
