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)!
Nice blog here friend…keep blogging
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?
