TerryW: bruised bone in foot only

Murf: I haven't fallen since Hover Dam when the USP picked me up

billeric: I have had acouple nasty falls myself.  Even with a cane.

JACK: LAST THREE WEEKS OF WORK I FELL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK

kellyC_: So far.. I have been ok.. no falls.. yet

Murf: Where is your chair?

DarwynP: it's a &*!@# getting back up isn't it

JACK: ON OF MY CO WORKERS SAID I FALL IN SLOW MOTION

Murf: Hey Dart

Dart!: Hey All!

DarwynP: That is true Jack I noticed that also

JACK: I AGREE WITH THE GETTING UP PART. IF NOTHING WAS THER I WOUD STILL BE LAYING THERE

Murf: I prevent falling by using my chair LOL

MICH: Bill... getting upright is a problem and the colder it gets the harder it gets... my wife often has to left me out of the wheel chair... but so far so good in barely getting in my powerchair to go to work

DarwynP: with myself when I could walk

kellyC_: Slow Motion?

billeric: I try to walk whenever possible-hoping to keep my strenght from disappearing completely

JACK: IT TOOK PRACTICE TO DO IT BELEAVE ME

TerryW: my falls always happen fast.  Boom

JACK: MY FRIED SID WHIN I FALL HE HAS TO BRING A LUNCH BECAUSE I TAKE SO LONG TO HIT THE GROUND LOL,

Rich: One hand is always for holding on to something

kellyC_: LOL

DarwynP: lol

Dart!: I am like you, Terry - I am down before I know what happened!

Murf: I go straight down like a building

Murf: on the ground before I know it

TerryW: We should be fall guys

TerryW: for movies

kellyC_: lol

DarwynP: I could feel myself going but couldn't stop it.  Thus the slow motion

JACK: WE HAVE THE PRACTICE FOR IT

billeric: I seem to catch my right toe on something-stumble and then fall.  Usually wrench my right knee.

TerryW: When I fall now I really take a licking

TerryW: Literralyy from my 2 pups

Murf: LOL

TerryW: they are on me in no time

TerryW: likcing my face

TerryW: licking

JACK: WITH ME IT  IS USUALLY MY FOOT CATCHEXS ON SOMETHING AND I JUST CAN NO CATCH MY BALANCE

MICH: I now try to avoid falls like the plague because up until 60 I bounced pretty good... but now I end up with a goose egg the size of a soft ball

DarwynP: Bill, get an AFO( ankle foot orthodic) it lifts your toesa for you. greatest thing since sliced bread!

Murf: I used to say I tripped on an air bubble

billeric: Sounds just about what I do Jack

TerryW: smkall twigs send me down

TerryW: small

TerryW: or rocks

TerryW: or gopher holes

Dart!: What do you folks think of the suggestion I saw last night for using two walking poles?

billeric: I will have to look into that Darwyn.

JACK: WHAT HAPPENS IS MY LEGS GET TIRED AND I DO NOT LIFT UP LIKE I SHOULD

TerryW: godd idea if you are not having to carry anything

JACK: MY BOSS WOULD NOT APPROVE OF THEM, HARD TO USE GOING UP A LADDER

Dart!: I'm not much good for carrrying anything anyway.

TerryW: U sed to have 2 hiking poles I used but my friends did not appreciate the holes I left in the carpet in their house LOL

MICH: Be careful when if you get an AFO... as I liked the one's that are made for small kids because they still gave me alot of mobility... but some of the adult ones you feel like your ready to joust in steel armor

Murf: Ladder?

TerryW: Me kidding again

DarwynP: Tey are slim and fit right into your shoe. Mine are Swedish AFO"and work miracles

TerryW: LOL

JACK: CONSTRUCTION

Dart!: These poles that I read of have cane-tips for on flooring.

JACK: ONLY THING I KNOW

TerryW: I should do stand up,  or would that be sit down

Murf: Can you concult?

Murf: consult

JACK: SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DOCTOR LIKE MY MOTHER SAID

JACK: SHE ALWAYS SAID I WAS A REAL OPERATOR LOL

Dart!: AFO's???

TerryW: I think Kramer on Sienfeld had KD, he was always falling

DarwynP: This one is less obstructive than most and is short enough that your socks protect your leg from chaffing

Murf: I worked offshore drilling now I write procedures etc.

JACK: JUST NEVER HAD THE PATENTS LOL

Murf: LOL

DarwynP: Ankle foot orthodic

TerryW: I had once had a doctor that was blind

JACK: CAN'T SPELL GOOD EITHER

TerryW: Lots

Murf: I need some!

Murf: LOL

TerryW: OK , I killed the room with those jokes

DarwynP: the back of the heel is cut out up about 2 or 3 inches, so the plastic goes down the side of your heel instead of cupping itr

billeric: Got a 9:30 appt. so got to go.  See youse guys!

Murf: Take care

billeric has left the room.

DarwynP: bye

Dart!: Where / how would I get inforrmation re: AFL's

JACK: IF YOU CAN MAKE ONE PERSON LAUGH EVERY DAY THAT IS A GOOD THING

TerryW: it is very hard to sometimes

JACK: I AGREE BUT YOU HAVE TO THINK POSSITIVE

MICH: Dart... one good place for AFO info would be the MDA clinic

DarwynP: Most physical therapists  and most sport medicine places that sell rehab stuff

JACK: THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT HAS IT WORSE THE YOURSELF

TerryW: yes

JACK: I AM STILL MOBLE IT IS JUST NOT AS EASY AS IT USED TO BE

TerryW: Mostly my animals see my frustration when I am at home alone during the day and I fall and struggle with thing on the property,  The hear me talk to go

TerryW: talk to god

TerryW: asking him is this some kind of practical joke he is playing on me

DarwynP: Do they answer? ol

DarwynP: crooked heads and all

TerryW: God must answer me somehow because I get back up and continue on

DarwynP: true
