Having MS for over 20 years, I’ve taken my share of falls.
Multiple Sclerosis will do that to you. MS throws your balance out of whack & binds your feet like your shoes are tied together.
My doctor will ask “Have you fallen recently?” To which I reply “Which day?”
I fall so often people think my aftershave is “Spic-N-Span.”
I fall so often when I floss I find carpet nap.
I’ve taken more tumbles than Simone Biles.
I’m the only guy I know who gets grass stains—on his shoulders.
My rear end has kissed the floor so many times I have rug burn on my butt.
Have I been injured? Oh of course. It’s all part of having MS.
I just gotta be more careful.
Keep moving my friends!
Thank you for adding your Giggle Doug. Before my diagnosis I was such a klutz that I had the nickname Grace. Now I know that I had MS as an excuse- too bad I couldn’t use it then!!
FYI Friends- Doug writes his own MS humor blog that a freaking riot! To get more giggles from Doug, check it out- http://www.myoddsock.com
I always say ” I’m bowling for people” when I start to traverse the sidewalks & my drop foot acts up, then I trip & hit the NYC cement … Laughter is the best medicine for those moments !!!
That’s a riot Michele- thank you for sharing!! Feel free to add it to the Giggles page (tab is above) so more readers will see it. You have my attitude and man, I know it helps!!!
I just tell people that the ground looked lonely and I wanted to give it a hug.
I tripped on a piece of concrete that was 1/4 inch higher than the last square. My son’s reaction when he saw the concrete was, “Yep, that is a mom size tripping hazard.”
My boss won my allegiance when I was telling him the story. I told him that I had tripped and that wasn’t bad because I trip a lot, but a student has tripped at the same place. His answer “Wo, Darla it is important if it caused you to trip.”
Have a great day.
That’s a great one Darla! How old was your son when he came up with that? Classic! Thank you for checking out my blog, sharing that story and making me smile!
Being with a grandchild that is learning to walk became a gift. I see her fall and get back up just like me. For babies it is a struggle to figure out how you get back up, sound familiar? Now she waits for me and keeps turning back to see if I’m coming at 19 months old, beckoning me on. She’ll remember her limping “Granny” and think some people walk funny and that’s ok. Like babies, if I have a little pee in my pants or fall down or even try it to stand and put pants on, there will be giggles!
Oh that is precious Sheree- I love it! Thank you so much for sharing. I can just picture her little face patiently waiting for you to catch up. I bet she helps keep you young- awesome!
