Hero Takes a Fall

I fall a lot around the house these days. It is one of the problems brought on by Parkinsons' that isn't covered under the DBS doesn't help. I don't get hurt when I fall because:

  1. Years of falling during basketball and softball games have already prepared my body
  2. Most of the time I am actually in a 'controlled' fall that I think is safer than trying to remain standing where I might hit something on the way down.

I am pointing this out only so that if you are around when I fall the best thing to do is just ignore it and keep on doing whatever you are doing. I promise to let everyone know if I am ever really hurt IMMEDIATELY! This is just another phase I have to deal with and there isn't much that anyone else can do about it.

OK but I will still worry. I can't help it. And...how are you going to let me know you're hurt if you're bleeding out your eyes and your jaw is broken? Huh? Did you think of that? :)
