Writings about Ataxia, being DeafBlind, family life. The best life can offer!


Darn it, dropped that…

One of my major frustrations that I can’t seem to cope with is the fact that I drop almost everything.

That is part of my disability, I believe it is Areflexia.

It is not just dropping the occasional fork or battery, but dropping every other thing I have in my hands.

As well, my eye-hand coordination has never been very good.  I cannot catch a ball if my life depended on it.  Do not toss me a live grenade, I’d just “whoops” drop it and lose my big toe!

This is one frustration that I must overcome, and laugh at it.

Have a good day!
