i second the slow dance in circles thing. One where you have someone to hang onto while you dance. I took a nice header last week, the kind where you trip and keep stumbling forward trying to regain your balance, well i didnt regain it. fell flat on my face. do what you can when you can and if people dont understand well what can you do.

You did a "header", I did a nice "footer" the other night in my bathroom. I kept trying to regain my balance and kept going backward into my cabinet. I have three nice knob marks inside of a huge bruise on my mid back. It hurt, but I am sure it looked funny as hell, especially since I was butt naked.

I hate the fact that I loose my balance and fall. I think it is because I don't always feel the floor under my feet.

And, I triple the agreement with the slow dancing. Come on now, I think we can all do that...

Doing that kind of backwards-dive? Is not what we want to be 'remembered for'! Then.....comes the inevitable question? Why'd ya do that?! Didn't plan on it, sorry! Just 'lost it'? THIS is where I clutch my cane between my hands and DARE folks to question me MORE! Sheesh! Like I planned it all? NOT!
Thing is, for all the 'ettiquete' folks have been raised with or on? They don't KNOW or have a clue what to do when someone hits world. I don't get it!
Hugs to all! 's - j

I can just see you doing this! They just don't know who they are messing with huh???

i got a visual on that one also....ha!

Thats great! People do seem to get embarassed when they see someone fall and ask stupid questions as you so eloquently point out. Or, they just get a look of distaste... My husband asked me the same thing when I fell; "Why did you do that?". WTF.

I have always felt that the world would be a better place if others could focus and keep comments to themselves unless they are asked.
Darlinde some people I do feel it is out of care and they think they are helping but others I feel it is just be nosey and liking to tell people what to do. Have you ever said to your co workers if I eat X I may end up the hospital. Sometimes I have to give an ex. For me I really don't expect people to understand what I do expect is for them to not comment or suggest things that they have no clue about. I get more dumb suggestions on how to get better from people it is unreal to me. My grandfathers gf is the best at that and then I go what do I suffer from and she can't even tell me but is the first to yell at me for not trying things like yoga. Ok sorry for my rant. I hope you have people too who are caring and can support you in some ways
