Does anyone else fall over all the time?

Post by Rufus153 »

I am always falling over.
Not just tripping or stumbling, but actually falling over or down stairs.
Sometimes ive broken bones, one occasion i gave myself whiplash from hitting my head so hard.
Is anyone else this bad with falling? :-k

I don't fall over per say... But I have a habit of accidentally knocking into things. Yesterday I managed to clout my entire left side into a wall of shelves... That woke me up a bit!

I do the same Jim! Always misjudging or just not noticing things and bumping straight into them! ](*,) :D
Too clumsy for words sometimes :O

Yup I’m almost constantly bumping into things tripping on things etc., took out the banister on my stairs the other week, I belly flopped it some how so I’m fine (plenty of padding round my mid section) but the poor banister is beyond repair :) .
It all part of being Dyspaxic so your not on your own.

I occasionally fall over but much more often just stumble a bit, bump into things or drop things. That said, my falling-on-my-arse count this week is up to 3.
