Some falls are lucky

Falling is so much a part of the "MS experience" that they often
seem unremarkable to anyone with MS or to family members dealing
with a relative with MS.
But there are falls that injure, and then there are the very
very fortunate falls that don't.
Today I fell and it seems to have been one of those rare lucky
falls with no serious damage. I don't know how I managed it, but
I'm going to keep up with my exercises, just in case they're
helping me to fall less harmfully.
I was in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on dinner. I
had turned off the oven and the burner on the stove. I was
holding an empty but hot saucepan. Suddenly, as has happened
twice before, my left side buckled and I went down.
Some things went flying onto the floor. I knocked over the waste
basket too. But no food was spilled, and I was able to get up
easily enough by hanging onto the edges of the double sink. I
went right on with dinner and was hardly shaken up at all.
I took a couple of Tylenol later to stave off some aches that
were starting up. Tomorrow things might be worse but I hope not.
However, I wasn't able to get around to finding anything else to
post here today. Maybe some people will be interested in
knowing that there are falls that aren't so injurious. I don't
recommend any falls but some of them don't result in a fracture
or bruises or a disoriented feeling.
