Mondays Question of the Day

So after a weekend of stupid accidents

Are you clumsy?

I cut my hand open while cutting a bread bun, twisted and put my back out again, nearly walked into a parked car and a set of open gates......i'm doing well LOL!!

Eh; not too much.  I do think it comes in spurts sometimes.  

I have managed to cut my hand slicing an english muffin with a butter knife of all things.    That was a few months ago though.  I did stub my toe on the leg to our patio table a couple weeks ago.  Thats all thats coming to me now.

Hiya at least your not as clumsy as me i am afraid to learn to drive =p i have walked into a door before,i  walk into door frames,coffee tables,door handles,knocked things off the counter and trip over a number of things including the cat lol 

I am one of the most clumsy people out there and always have been.  Now it is more a health problem with my legs, I'm always crashing into things and have lots of bruises to prove it.
 

I am extremely clumsy! :lol3:

My middle name is "Klutz"! :lol3:

Sometimes I fall for no reason. The doctor said my knees give out because of my weight. On the lighter side, when I try to walk the stairs I kind of stumble up the stairs.

I think Martha Stewart has a Mafia contract out on my life.  In the past couple of years, I've really cut open my left index finger in the same spot, using her steak knives. The first time was 40 minutes before a bridal shower I was hosting was due to start, and I was alone. I was slicing lemons, and the knife slipped, nearly cutting my finger to the bone. I bled for 6 hours, and got woozy a few times during the party. After spending 13 hours the day before cleaning, cooking, etc., no WAY was I going to the E.R., unless it was life-threatening!

Last November, I hurt my right knee in a stupid way (Winchester knows what I did

). A few months, later, I fell down a stairway at a public place, injuring the left   knee!  BTW, if you injure your knees, a recumbent exercise bike may help you. I've been using mine since Sunday a week ago, and got immediate relief from doing 20 minutes on it. My knees are almost back to normal already! I'm walking so much better, and hardly any pain.

I do and I remember!!!

I'm a klutz, too, and have the scars to prove it. I stumble, I fall, I cut myself. It's amazing that I'm not seriously hurt sometimes. Constantly falling down our basement steps. And I seem to do it in stages. I'll be fine for awhile and then I'll fall a couple times in a row or do something stupid and get hurt.

Yeah, I'm pretty clumsy. My mother used to move things in our house when I was growing up, placing low obstacles on the floor for me to trip over. (She would wait and watch - thought it was funny. She told others that I was "unaware.")

Fast forward YEARS later I had a very thorough eye exam, including peripheral vision, It turns out I can see left and right just fine, but my peripheral vision up and down is terrible. In order to see where I'm walking, I have to tilt my head down to look. Looking straight ahead, I can't see the floor in front of me, it's kind of a blind spot. 

Even today, at home if someone leaves their shoes or something out of place on the floor, most likely I will trip over them. Thankfully, my husband and daughter don't laugh if I hurt myself.
