Nothing Like a Flopping Fish

February 3rd, 2009

Well I write to you all beat up. I decided to be brave at the wrong time. I tried to walk when I can to keep the strength up in my legs. Well bad choice in the ice and snow. I was walking behind my wheelchair and I slipped one time and was able to catch myself. The next time I was not able to catch myself I landed in the snow like a fish flopping in the water right on my left wrist much like doing a belly flop in the pool. There was ice under the snow on my wheelchair ramp. If I don’t have a big fall at least every few months there’s something wrong. Last time, I fell was right out of my chair because I lost my grip on my chair. Geez, nothing like feeling like a flopping fish. Now I am going to try and take it easy and try to stay on my feet.

    Sorry to hear that you had such a bad fall, and I hope your wrist is okay! Falling on the snow and ice can be just like falling on concrete (as i’m sure you already know from the experience)!

    I feel for you because any kind of fall is no fun, even if it is in snow. I pray you were not hurt too bad. Please be more careful in the future. Wish I were there to pick you up. Have a grand day!

    *giggle* You could be my (evil) twin! Do you have that dream where you’re flopping and everyone insists you’re drunk and you try to explain and they don’t believe you?
