So, I haven't always been so clumsy...age seems to have made me a total clutz. Not just tripping on air, or going upstairs, things like dropping food on myself, running into doors and pieces of furniture, ( I bruise easily and have the bruises to show for it...lol), I don't know if it is lack of paying attention to where I am going or just distracted or what, but, sooner or later I am probably going to really hurt myself. Do you have these problems and did they get worse or appear with age?

I was a clumsy child. Always. I am less clumsy today, although it's getting worse due to the numbness in my feet and the vertigo problems.

Perhaps it was all that falling on my head when I was a child that led me to this predicament?

Oh 2B young again ! In younger days I was quick with fast reactions making it hard to get a clean shot at me in football. But now, anybody's grandma can tackle me.

@DarkPaisley broker her ankle falling on a flat floor. But that's MS not clumsiness.

I go in for surgery next Wednesday. So I might not be on for a couple weeks. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

I recall in high school... I didn't play football, but I was in the marching band. We had a tradition where we would play football with each other after practice. Co-ed, and full contact, but no "real" football players were allowed. There was one girl, Angela was her name, who always lined up across from me. I would let her tackle me. As often as she wanted. Whether either of us had the ball or not.

Good times. (I should have married her.)

If the wall didn’t want me to walk through it, they would have built it out of my path.

And that tree ran right out in front of me!
