First Fall

Great news,

I had my first fall last Friday.

My walking wasn’t smooth at all, start to get a little better now. People who know me couldn’t understand and weren’t helpful at all. A school assistant was worried about the fact my son couldn’t be on time for school and made sure somebody could be helpful.

My mum doesn’t understand at all and think I have pain in my leg.

Neuro appointment is 26th January.

I hope you all had a great weekend, may Mary keep you and God Bless you.

Jimeka it’s a larger coordinations problem. In general exercise and rest keep me back on track.

My son is with his with his father this weekend and Marly is doing well, ate too much of my banana this morning 😋. Blessings Purple_Lady77

I hope things work out for you. Sorry for the fall.

When I fall it's like a reset button. Before the fall I'm having issues standing and walking, then down I go, I learned not to fight it just lower myself to the floor. Boom reset and I'm good to go, it's like nothing ever happened. I've also figured out how to fall/ go down in private away from someone who would start judging me and demanding I start doing things that make no sense .

Are you coming down with something? It might account for your weakness. Please rest until you feel better. Purple_Lady77 🤗💕🌠

No it isn’t. jimeka and i started the club with the hopes no one else to be members. But since the beginning we’ve had to induct entirely to many members.

There’s also a frequent fall club that is not one we want to see you join so please take it easy and careful so your not an inductee.

Please be careful and be safe.

Donnie.

Sorry to hear about your fall. Hopefully there's no encore performance. Glad you're not hurt from the fall.

First one? I've fallen so many times I couldn't begin to count. What's important, is that you learn HOW TO FALL. I've gotten over breaking or fracturing things. Fractured ribs....sound like nothing, but every breath.... Give me a break any day!

So, right now, sign up for classes at your local ??? Learn HOW TO FALL!

When you graduate from that, you can learn how to fall INTO things. Trees, walls, furniture... Soft furniture is wonderful! Sorry, but you'll get over it!?!?

Yes, you will. First time's the hardest. After a while, you won't even notice it?

Or remember it? Not sure which. Most people turn black and blue. Do you turn purple? Sorry....had to.

Yes I do turn purple... Hint purple is my favorite colour... love raspberry, red 🍇 and black currant...Not so much my blueness.

I hate it when gravity takes over... I fell out of my bed on January 1; it took 2 firemen to hoist me up. Falling is one thing, getting up is a whole different story;) Fortunately I didn't break anything. Be safe! Dolf
