Thankfully today’s post is not about falling over. I think you’ll all agree with me that that’s a relief given that I’ve managed to hit the deck twice in the past fortnight.
That said, I have been feeling a bit more wobbly on my feet than usual over the last few days, and a lot more aware of how I’m moving around, even when I use my walking frame Martha. To be honest, I think this is mostly down to nerves that I’m going to land on the floor again.
There were several occasions during the weekend where I felt like I was going to topple over, but managed to catch myself in time.
Sometimes, when I have a fall, it makes me feel unsteady for a couple of days afterwards and I find myself being extra cautious for a few days until that passes. It knocks my confidence for a bit. How long this lasts depends on what I was doing that made me lose my balance and how much I hurt myself. Sometimes it doesn’t dent my confidence at all and I just get on with things, but if it I hurt myself quite a bit, or have a few close together as I have done, it makes me feel a bit unsteady for a while.
I’ve certainly felt this way over the past couple of days, but I’m hoping it will pass soon.
I feel the same after a fall, and when I’m tired, I tend to fall and wobble more when I’m tired anyway….

I was wondering if you could be tired or run down, or whether some muscles may be a little tighter somewhere causing this?

Yeah that’s possible. I have an appointment with my physio in a couple of weeks so I’m going to mention it to her when I see her I think.
