    Hello Joan
    I am glad you have got the scan out of the way, I will be with you Tuesday when you go for the results, I have fell a few times since I got arthur, not sure if its because I walk differently, or because I am to cautious.
    I dont seem to pick up my feet like I used to, so I sometimes catch my toe on things.
    Good Luck with the results
    Love
    Barbara xx

    Well done for having the scan Joan.

    Glad you will get the results soon - will that be at the GPs or the specialist??

    You can stumble with arthritis yes especially if your hip or knee gives out on you and you have the extra issue with the CP so you really are doing well to be up walking.

    I am amazed how well you are doing after that fall.

    Love

    Thank you DD Barbara Toni.
    i was cleaning my scoota and i turned to go around the back and all of a sudden i was walking straight on and i was frightened of stopping because i new i was going to fall i had my arms out to put my hands on some thing i turned to try to reach the doors of the scoota garage and then fell the ground was flat. i'm sorry to go on i will be 70 this year so i put it down to age as my legs are always ache.
    thank you joan xx
    take care

    Hello Joan
    The things is it does knock your confidence, but you will get it back, age is just a number...I try and not think about it, I will be 61 in May....but dont tell anyone I am staying 50 :smile: I do hope you feel better very soon, and can get out on your scooter.
    Love

    YOU ARE KIDDING ME - 70? Never! I had you pegged at about 55, don't ask me why, I have no idea, but 70? Strewth girl, you set a fine example.

    I didn't explain very well earlier, I meant that because of pain sometimes we don't pick our feet up as far as we should, so tripping or stumbling is easy to do. I know that once I am down I cannot get up, which is not a nice feeling, but hey-ho, I am sure someone would come to my rescue. They would have to be VERY STRONG tho, there is a lot of DD to shift! (DD wanders off, shaking her head in dis-belief - '70? She says she's 70 . . . . . would you Adam and Eve it . . . . . '
    Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben

    Hi Joan,

    Stumbling I seem to do as well. I kinda forget to pick up my feet if that makes sense?

    Glad your walking but please be careful and good luck with the test results.

    Hi to Sue and sending another ((( ))) and a cuppa each. love Cris xx

    Hi DD Cris.
    where my scoota was by the front door it slopes down a bit
    so when i lost my balance i just went it must have looked funny
    i did not stop till i reached the bottom and then fell.
    thank you for caring about me.
    i hope you have all had a good day joan xx
    take care

    Hi Joan

    Just checking in to see how you are doing?

    That sounded like a really scary fall....like you knew it was going to happen and couldn't stop it :sad: :sad: Poor you.

    I hope you are feeling ok about the frame now?

    Actually DD, I thought Joan was about 55 too.... :oops:

    Love and hugs

    Toni xx
