RE: (was)Takes the Cake (now) Akiba's fall & things lost to MS

[Guest guest]

I sent you ~ privately ~ the pic I took in the bathroom mirror...yes, falling is emotionally painful as well as physically painful. There was nobody around to help me up so I rolled over and stuck my rear in the air and walked my feet and hands together till I could stand up, like a tee-pee. Funny thing is I *was* on my way to the Dr. when it happened!!! And for no good reason, I just fell, kaboom, didn't trip or anything!

I really AM one of the lucky ones, though, most days I can still drive, and though I now use a scooter at the store I can still pick out the foods that I want to cook, and can still cook. The heat does kick my derriere, though, and even though I can drive I have my limits, I go to the store, maybe two or on e real good day even three, but I stay within limits and don't push myself too hard or I pay for it later!!!

Peace and Blessings

Oh Akiba! I'm so sorry you fell. I know how that feels and it feels awful. For me, it's not just the pain of the fall it's the emotional fear that you will fall again. And the realization that MS means so many losses to my life. Like Akiba, I can't dance anymore.......but then I couldn't dance before MS!

But before MS I could walk without a cane, I could shop (and shop, and shop) without using a scooter, I could think clearly, I could go through my day without constant pain, I could take care of my family without having to 'rest'.... I could go anywhere I wanted to---by myself! Now I can't drive and that's a huge loss to me personally because I've always been so independent.

But we will get by. (And for the newbies I would like to remind them that everyone with MS is different and many with MS never have advanced degree of disability--so don't worry after reading this or any others in response to this please)

Takes the Cake...

Just an example of how much my brain is disapearing.I booked a flight two months ago for our annual conference with The Body Shop at Home. I had looked at my eticket at least three times since then. Only today, two days before leaving, do I realize that I booked it for last weekend. I feel so stupid!!!!!I would like to say "luckily" the airline would give me credit for my ticket. Only it's not so lucky as the current price of the ticket is $700 more. Looks like I'm driving now. Grrrrr...... what I wouldn't do to feel like I did in college. I was superwoman. Single mom, carried 18 credits and worked full time. I was always so focused and energized. Now I'm brain dead. I expected this to happen at 65 not 35. Makes me afraid, very afraid of how goofy my brain will be in 30 years. To top it all off, I fell down the last five steps to the basement this morning. I'm going to go to conference looking like I'm an abused wife. Ha! Gotta love this disease. But hey, I can control my bladder so that's one step in the right direction!Mindy

That's always been my "joke".... the fear that I would fall and everyone would see my hiney. And it has happened that way more than once.

One time several years ago (before I got so bad) I walked up to the animal pens to feed the cow, the goats, the llamas and the rabbits. I was alone with my grandkids and they were helping me. All of a sudden --whoosh! I was on my back. It was super fast like falling on ice --only this was on the hard rocky ground in the high desert of Arizona. My grandkids were very upset. If I fall on my front I can get up like you did, Akiba, with hiney in the air for all to see. But I was flat on my back. I had the wind knocked out of me big time. I just lay there trying not to let the grandkids see my tears (Grandma--are you crying??? No, of course not, the sun is in my eyes). I was wondering what on earth I was going to do? The ground was so hard and I was like a bug on it's back. Then my old dog, Petunia, came over to me and stood next to me blinking her eyes at me. I reached

up and grabbed her collar, she braced herself and let me pull myself up to a sitting position. Then I held her collar and I was able to pull myself over so I was on my knees. Ouch! Those rocks are tough on knees. But then by holding Petunia's collar I was able to pull myself up to a standing position.

Now I am getting teary because my loyal Petunia has injured her hips. I think she ran too much outside several days ago. I gave her glucosamine yesterday and she had some tylenol. She has been crying when she walks. I will take her to the vet if it doesn't get better. She's a red lab mixed with German Shepherd. She's 12 years old.

Akiba,……..this

is exactly the way my falls have happened. After the last one I decided I wouldn’t

walk without holding on to something because I never knew what was causing me

to fall. A couple times when I fell I could feel myself falling but its like my

brain didn’t engage to tell my arms to break it. None with my bum in the

air, but I still needed help up. Had to call the neighbor once to help Steve

get me up, and my daughter and boyfriend helped once, and the fire dept.’s

hunky gorgeous men were called when I hit my head on the side of the tub. 5 of

them carried me to the ambulance. I kept apologizing to them for being so

heavy, and I think I even told one of them he was sooooooo handsome. Lol…..

I haven’t fallen in

a couple years now……..knock on wood!

If I go to Walmart it will wipe me out for the rest of

the day. I know they have good prices but I have a

Super Target nearby that I can handle MUCH better.

When I go to Walmart not only am I worn out but I'm

quite B***Y afterward!

I use the motorized carts, Robbin loves riding on them with me and I go hooting down the isles, people get right out of my way and often smile at me, and I'll say "Here comes hell on wheels!" as I pass by them! I didn't realize how much fun you can have on those things!!!!

Whereas all of Oregon has these wonderful carts, only one chain of grocery stores has them in the East Bay, in Oakland where I live; I used to take my grandchildren with me when I was shopping; now, the youngest, 7.5, has decided that she is just too "grown up" to ride with me, so she walks along and actually helps me, which is terrific, except for when I knock over one of those end of the aisle wine displays, or worse!

I sometimes really need to use the carts, but haven't had the guts to yet. I am such a clumsy person. DH calls me "Grace" a lot. I'm afraid to ride them, because I might run into stuff. I am also worried that someone will be rude and make a stupid comment, and will embarrass me. If I feel too weak to walk, or dizzy and stumble, I just stay home. But, that is really getting old. I think I need to "take the plunge", and just try one. I hate being in prison in my own home. I think I need a little more of your spunky attitude Akiba. When I hit my 30's, I acquired a new spunky tude, and dropped the meek crap. I seem to care less what people think, the older I get. LOL. I bet Robbin has fun on the cart with you. : ) Trista

Trista, I fought using the carts for a long time, too long, and now I regret my stubbornness, I love them!!!! They really don't go fast enough to get into too much trouble, they go at about a walking pace (Robbin sometimes walks beside me with his arm around me), take the plunge, it really is the best thing! Trust me Sistah!!!

Yes, please use the carts. It IS hard in the beginning but, as Akiba says, take the plunge. MS is all about conserving energy. Do you want to use your energy at the store or do you want it for home or doing something fun?
