...and near misses, based on personal experience. Bet you've got some, also.

1. Do not walk faster than your cane.

2. When taking a shower, do not suddenly raise your arms to shampoo your hair and close your eyes at the same time.

3. Do not attempt to answer your cordless/cell phone while carrying laundry downstairs.

4. When putting on underwear, do not attempt to put both legs in the same opening.

B2Y, you are so wise. I was falling a lot but since I parked my b*** in my WC I've only fallen once in the last 2 years while transferring to the toilet. I vow never to fall again!!

make sure your shoes are tied BEFORE you stand up. once you are up, its too tempting to just bend over and tie them.

The stairs are the scariest place for me...when I carry the laundry down to the basement, I lean against the wall and take one step at a time like a toddler. I have fallen more than a couple of times and don't want a repeat.

When I read about putting on underwear, it resonated with me. I have to learn to sit down to get dressed. It's so difficult when you have balance issues to put one leg in at a time...I also have trouble washing my feet in the shower, but I'm unwilling to get a shower chair yet. Guess I just want to keep on pretending I don't have MS

Something that works very well to scrub the soles of your feet if you are not using a shower chair: http://www.amazon.com/Soapy-Soles-Fo.../dp/B003DLTG2G

#1. Don't get up.

#2. Don't try to tranfer from your scooter to the sofa, if you just installed slippery wood floors and you haven't, yet, put down a non-slip carpet.

#3. If you do, call the hunks at 911.
