I don't know if the Osteo or Fibro has a thing to do with this but I have noticed lately I have become so "accident prone". I am forever more cutting corners to close and keep bruises on my all ready sore shoulders.
I have had a few bad scares lately too of tripping over little things in the floor. The dogs toys, the grandbabies diaper bag, blankets, you name it. I think I trip over patterns in the rug too, LOL, because carpet stoves(?) me up and if I didn't have something to catch to I could really hurt myself. Like running head first into a brick fireplaceI relate to all you have mentioned. Actually fell last year and broke my arm. That isn't the first fall I had experienced either that was probably number eight, all the other times I landed on my bottom, thank god but this time...ouch. I am only 39, I don't have old age as an excuse. i know exactly what you mean . i have a nasty steam burn on my thumb . from getting something out of the microwave . i know how dangerous steam is so you'd think i wouldnt be so clumsy but its either the pain , the fatigue , the medication or all of the above that makes us clumsy. to be on the safe side maybe we should all have cooks and cleaners to take care of us . lol.
I'm with you Ally!!! Well at least I'm glad to know it's not just me being clumsyYep... goes on with me too... However, when I do happen to hit
the wall, I end up with horrible bruises. I can just touch
something very lightly and my hand or arm bruises like crazy. I
look at my arms and think I look like my 90 year old grandma used to
look! My grandaughter sees it and says 'you have oweee'?
Oh yeah.... owee!! If I have blood drawn, I tell them not to put on a bandage because it will bruise me.
And, when I get out of the car, I feel so slow, like I am 90, and walk
so gingerly so I don't fall..... I'm afraid I will tumble down
the stairs at home, alone, and no one will find me, except my cat!!
Yeah, me too. I started having problems passing out papers in class, dropping things and I too started to walk like I was drunk! I am glad so glad Moana said it first! I felt that it was just me
It happens to me too. I am real clumsy and I stagger around like a drunk. I am always dropping things and doing stupid things. I have a bruise on my knee from a night bathroom trip. I also opened the bathroom door on top of my toe and tore off the toe nail. Ouch! Don't try that at home folks, believe me, it hurts. Now I leave the light on in the bathroom and the door cracked so I don't get another ouchy,owee, uuuee! LOL
oh yeah. I swear we've trippled our egg use in the past year because I drop so many. My hands are always brusied.. well so is everything else. I have foot drag and I lurch around like a drunk.
I have taken a few nasty falls and seem to breeak every nail every week. Its like I cant judge distance when I need to use my hands.
Yes! I was born clummsy, so I am sure the genetic anomoly does not help. I am more clummsy and have taken serious falls because of it. I hate the stairs to the basement, it seems there is always someone at the top pushing me down. Gosh! I wish all the visitors would leave!
