Did she fall…

Or was she pushed?

This has always been a question for me, and I would love to know the answer.

At 6 feet tall, I know I can’t do delicate. I have always been the proverbial bull in the china shop. But whenever I fall down, why don’t I end up in a heap where I fall?

Why do I always end up yards away?

It always feels as though I have been shoved. In fact, I sometimes know I have been shoved. I can almost feel the hands on my back.

Yesterday was a case in point. My legs crumpled just as I reached the step leading into the kitchen. So where did I land? Yards away in the middle of the kitchen floor.

And that time I stood up from the couch in my office. My legs went and I ended up yards away, wrapped around the legs of the office chair!

Am I being pushed? Is a vengeful spirit getting its own back?

I’m sure I wouldn’t hurt myself half as much, if I gently slid down into a dignified heap.

In case you were wondering why I keep falling down, it’s because I have a severely impacted nerve in my spine, which is making my legs weak.

I tell you, the Flying Nun has nothing on me…

    Sorry to hear of your problem, Jaye. I hope you get over it soon. Is it something ‘they’ can do something about?

      When I finish the course of medication they gave me, I am hoping everything else will go away…

    Those nerves are tricky, Jaye, and cause all sorts of shenanigans. Let’s believe together you’ll be keeping the smiling side up from now on, and if not, only soft landings.
