i do experience the inability to keep my balance over the least of things. step on some little something that the grands left out and the tree may come down! i think its more in my head than in my legs lack of communication cuts in to the no-brain barrier

Each time I fell, it was through stupidity. Once I stepped on my shoe lace and went down. All I got were rug burns on my knees. It has been a long time since then and I am much more careful.

You better stop falling – next one could really be bad. Do you use a cane?

I was at the computer paying some bills. When I finished, I got up to go to the bathroom and completely forgot that I couldn’t walk. Needless to say, I landed flat on my face. Fortunately, I didn’t hurt myself, but I thought okay how do I get up since my hubby was outside cutting the grass. I was lucky that my P.T. therapist showed me what to do in case I would fall. As I was going down all I could think was oh s__t! Well, what she showed me worked. I have gone down at least 2 more times, but I have been lucky that all I bruised was my self esteem. We all must remember to be very careful. I hope you didn’t hurt yourself.

When I was getting of the computer yesterday & headed to the bathroom, I turned back around to see the computer was having trouble turning off, that is when BACK on the fall again. I almost made it another year without falls, maybe next year.

But, I count my blessings I'm able to go down the stairs. My hips are constantly bruised where I fall into things, but I am so lucky I am walking there in the first place. My PT gets aggrevated at me for doing too much, and my insurance company thinks I should do more. I'm not to good at decisions, friends. Chiropractors have been the ones who have given me the most relief, too.

I was trying a new short cut, going from standing with my walker to straight to the floor without sitting in a chair first & then going down to the floor. So don't try this at home or anywhere else. lol I let my chiropractor know that my left shoulder blade was hurting, so he followed that point to my spine and snapped back in one of my ribs. This was a week before Christmas, so it did make for a great Christmas gift. So please be very safe everyone, Todd in CC,TX --- On Thu, 12/30/10, wim from holland <[email protected]> wrote: From: wim from holland <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [TMIC] To: [email protected], "TMIC" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, December 30, 2010, 7:31 AM Janice Normaly I could say, just fine, not better or worse. After all this time it was very study. But last summer I overstreched my hamstrings by a fall. A very stupid one, sitting on the bed I reached too far for clothes on the floor and slide from the bed. I jused after that time my wheelchair all the day, because standing and walking with crutches was too painfull. Now after recovering, it is hard to get back to what I could do before. I hope in summer when we go to Spain I can get it back in the warm sun and dayly in the swimming pool.

How are you doing – besides learning to be grandparents. Janice From: wim from holland Sent: Monday, December 27, 2010 9:03 AM To: TMIC Subject: [TMIC] Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!! Happy new year everybody, hopefully this will be the year that makes an end to TM, and if not, don't give up hope and keep the head up. Last two years were very strange. We become grandparents, but we also became orphans this year. Next year our second grand child will be born. Wim from Holland.
