I am very, very klutzy. I am constantly tripping over nothing and hurting myself, for instance. If there's ice, I'll slip on it. If there's a slippery floor, I'm guaranteed to find my way to it, and fall. Today, when stepping up into the shower (our bath is deep, and it's HARD to step into, for a short girl), my foot slipped and I banged the knee outside the tub into the tub. It didn't feel good, and when I tried to get myself back into a position to get into the shower, it happened again. Which also didn't feel good.
On Friday night, I bent a fingernail back at a very low spot, and watched the blood well up beneath the nail, in the nail bed, and cried while the finger throbbed.
Also today, I managed to pinch my stomach with the can opener while opening a can of tuna. This is incredibly embarrassing, as how does one manage this? I honestly can't tell you, except that the counter is tall, and I was concentrating on what I was doing.
I'm really horribly unaware of where my body is in space. I'm constantly knocking my knees and elbows on things, because I simply can't place my body in relation to other items in the room. Once, I elbowed Sam in the head because I can't control how my body moves in relation to where he's going.
I'm not sure if this is related to my inability to visualize anything at all in my head, though it seems likely. I'm sick of it, though. I mean, pinching my stomach? This is really getting stupid. What's next?
