Latest fall... onto my face and complete with rug burns ... OUCH!!! MonSter activity on my spine has caused lots of falls... The last month: 2 flat on my back + this little number... lovely...
I'm an old MSer dating back to 1986 so I'm blessed to still walk, thank you Goddess!!! Namaste!!!
Are you ok?
this old redhead is pretty tough and I'm BLESSED as I did not knock my teeth out!!! I'm fine... This is 3 days ago so still in pain especially in the morning but better living through chemistry is getting me through the extra pain...
You got this super momma!! 💕👍🤔
Wow, you are a trooper for sure! Isn't there anything you can do to be safer? I'd hate to see you start breaking bones
Yikes! I think what you said below about being mindful will help.
this was my 3rd fall in the past 2 months... I also need to SLOW DOWN as I just think too much and do too much... it's in my DNA...
I have the same problem ddeadred ! When I have a lot to do and I'm thinking too much about all of it...that is a recipe for a fall. I have to concentrate when walking around or I can trip on just about anything or nothing even!
I hope you fully recover soon!

Too many times I think I can do more than I can and wind up falling. I'm so glad you didn't lose any teeth. I know the rug burns are bad! Hoping your pain goes away quickly! Feel better!

Thank you Jennie!!! Feeling better and await the bruises fading...
BTW, I'm Cj (pronounced Seejay--I just like the little j...)
Anne with an "e," for Green Gable appreciators!

greaterexp One of my sisters is Anne with an e- when she was younger, someone asked her why she had an e in her name, she said it was because she was a saint like Saint Anne. (She was no saint, and will admit that fact!)

So sorry to hear this, ddeadred , but thankful you didn't break anything this time. Hope the soreness goes away soon. 💕
Thank you!!! Post fall 3 dayz and feeling better already...
@ddeadred , Wow! You really did take a tumble! Go slow and be more careful!
If you must fall, save it for October so you don't need Halloween makeup. 😉
@ddeadred, falls R US! I'm afraid falls are really common. I particularly hate backwards falls where I land on my back. Sorry you had such a bad fall but it sounds as if you're moving on as best you can. It can take a long time to get over the effects of a fall. Feel better soon!
I am sorry to here of your fall I hope you didn't break any thing
I do have to ask you are you able to get up after a fall you see if I fall I am stuck there until I can be helped up. I have one of those buttons " I've fallen and I can't get up" haven't used it yet. I do have to say my neighbor pays for it, I do have a few good neighbors. Be very careful falling is my biggest fear. I have foot drop on my left foot and my right knee pops out every once in awhile. What a great life we have. Just kidding.
I can get up thank goodness... I've got ME, my pupz, and a cell phone that is always on me...
I'm so sorry about your fall and am glad you are feeling better. I haven't fallen yet, but think I should start assembling my stories to explain the bruises. Perhaps a little tumble down the Himalayans, fighting off two grizzlies with my bare(no pun intended) hands. I might as well make it interesting.
I"m going to use your story greaterexp ...I love it!
ddeadred , that's a great story to use and I think your wonderful neighbors will get a kick out of. Then again, don't fall anymore (as if we have a choice) I always have my cellphone too-good idea!
Ddreadded, it's Fancy1959. I hate falling backwards but then of course I hate falling on my face also. Please be careful! We both seem to be tough old birds! About ten days ago I managed to fall four time in five days. That's a new personal best for me I never hope to repeat!
i in one of the worst of my falls I managed to mess with my right knee outside meniscus. Sooooo, I'm headed back to physical therapy to see if we can help it. If that doesn't work and I have to see a surgeon about repairing it. I wish we were closer so we could fall together if nothing else! LOL! 😉
