Falling... In Love? With? No, Just Falling!

OK, now I admit I fall.  A lot.  I have no balance or coordination so I fell over pretty frequently when I was healing (and highly medicated) and now that I'm feeling better I fall even more.  These new falls are fast, unexpected and rarely do I land on my head anymore.  The falling is a part of the healing process, at least that's what I tell myself when I fall or see the rainbow of bruises.  I learned how to fall without hitting my head.  The deep welt on my back hurts like hell, but the same fall on my head would have resulted in a pointless trip to the ER.

It's also the main motivator for whipping my body back into shape.  I keep imagining myself as being required to be in top physical condition, so I can be better prepared for the next fall.  It really seems  like I'm   under attack!   So I have to be ready and always vigilant!

OK, so falling blows pretty hard.  We, humans are very breakable.  When I didn't know how fast I could fall    I fell frequently and broke both arms and some other bones too.  I have learned that I can and will break, how to minimize the damage of the falls that happen now and later.  Don't even get me started on spilling...
