Two more F words. Fatigue. Falling. I had a bad fall last Thursday. I was walking into Denny’s restaurant for our monthly MS self-help group. I always use my cane when I am outside.

Success!! I was supposed to take my driving test to get approved to drive with hand controls at the DMV on Monday. However they canceled their appointments due to the snow.

In the continuing saga of my driving: Tuesday the occupational therapist driving instructor tried a different knob configuration for my right hand and arm. It was a disaster.
