My bad! I should not have laughed so hard at those folks; I am at risk for the same type of mishaps myself so I don’t need any bad karma.
Very funny Malia! Thanks for posting.

Balzafiar,
I’m bad too! I have M.S. and often look like these people when I walk, and I’ve fallen more times that I can count, but I have to keep laughing or I’d cry. Laughing is much more fun! Have a good evening! Malia

Martha again
As one of your faithful followers who also has an artificial hip, I watched this with a combination of humor and horror, but finally couldn’t watch it anymore, as it really is painful.

Martha,
I am sorry if it was painful to you. I have M.S. and walk poorly and have fallen many times. If I can find something to laugh about it seems to help!

I guess I’m too soft-hearted to enjoy watching the misery of other folks’ painful falls. What I realized about that video is my absolute gratitude that I’m not one of the poor souls featured there!
I’m truly sorry, Malia, to learn of your M.S. and your walking/falling difficulties.
I’m grateful that your active mind, your incredible political interests, and your active typing fingers continue to serve you so well here.
Keep up the good work. It is appreciated.

elise09,
I find that having a good sense of humor makes up for a lot. I’m not in a wheelchair, so I’m one of the lucky ones. When I see women my age or younger walking around the hospital with scarves around their heads, I realize I am lucky not to have cancer etc., so I can deal with M.S. It also helps keep me focused on what’s important in life. Walking is overrated!

Ouch! I couldn’t watch all the way through! I get these shock-like feelings every time I see someone mangle themselves on these types of videos, almost like it’s me. Too much empathy, I guess.

Oh, OW! I hate to admit it but I was laughing hysterically while feeling their pain. I’ve always had a somewhat “sick” sense of humor.
The thing I loved about all of them was their “young at heart” spirits. I never plan to give mine up either & will undoubtedly suffer the consequences. Then others can get even & laugh at me – or with me.

KatzKids,
Can’t you just imagine them telling their doctor how they got hurt!

I’m laughing just thinking about it. Another OUCH!
Thanks for the laughs Malia. You never disappoint!
