Look out!
I’m not sure how it happened, but I found myself staring at
the sky today. I didn’t just zone out or anything. I was walking across the
grass. The next thing I knew, I was flat on my back, staring up at the wild
blue yonder.
This wasn’t the first time – not by any stretch. Sometimes
one ankle just decides not to listen to the leg and simply refuses to go in the
right direction. This lack of cooperation can lead to the ground – in a hurry.
No harm done this time. It was a fairly soft landing.
Gathering my wits, I stood up, brushed myself off, and went
on with my day. I may sport some interesting colors in strange spots tomorrow.
Hey, it happens.
Multiple sclerosis can be lopsided. It can affect (Read: “Shut down” or “Shut off”) random
body parts. And it strikes one side or the other with a whim of its own.
Today’s count:
Ground: 1 pt.
Me: 0 pts.
But the day is still young.

I'm glad you're OK! That must be very tough to deal with, but your attitude is fantastic. And hilarious.
