Unhappy

Susan, Well it happened to me today too. I went to my aquatics program. My legs always feel like noodles when I complete the workout. I take my rolling walker and keep it at pool side to help me walk safely to the dressing room and car. I usually sit at the gym and drink some coffee to allow my legs to recover before starting the long trek to my car. Today I needed to get home quickly to meet with a contractor about redoing our bathroom to an ADA safety shower.

I was feeling good, However when I got to my car and was putting my rolling walker into the back of my station wagon, I lost my balance, fell backwards, and hit my head. Luckily no broken bones. However I do have a headache, and probably a mild concussion. Luckily there were a few people in the parking lot to help me get up.

How I hate these MS falls! I keep wondering how long I can stay lucky and not break a bone or two. I never miss taking my calcium. Trying to keep those bones strong and protected from my many falls.

I can't stay home forever. What's an MS person to do? Betty
