Falling

Two falls today, one real and one almost.

In the Safeway parking lot, my crutch tip slipped on somebody’s freshly leaked antifreeze and down I went, complete with groceries. A couple of people looked around, but nobody stopped, which I guess was just as well because it would have been more embarrassing.

Went to a concert this evening, and I was trying to work my way through the crowd to get to the elevator. I had just stopped to talk to one of the performers when a woman elbowed past me. I did the amazing rubbery woman routine, but managed not to fall over. I’m still irrationally angry with her, and with myself, for not being functionally competent in crowds.
