A friend shared this on Facebook and I thought it was worth sharing here. Humour is my coping strategy

Oh, I laughed at several of those!
I particular liked the one about the finger-to-nose test possibly being a practical joke, and also the supermarket aisles getting narrower. When in the supermarket, I feel almost magnetically attracted to large displays containing breakables, such as china, or bottles of wine, and feel as if Iām going to plunge into them. And the thought: āWhatever I do, I mustnāt trip into that!ā seems to actually increase the chances of it happening!

Right now, the one where the urgency to wee is increased the nearer you get to a bathroom is very relevant! I find myself saying 'Whoa, hold on just a few more seconds!". Even before the current bladder problems, I would often be fumbling with my buttons and/or zip and worrying that I wasnāt gonna make it ā¦
Brilliant, thanks for posting very funny, at least we can laugh at ourselves!
Excellent, laughed at a lot of them.
I love the one to do with having a shower and the name tagsā¦Iām terrible at remembering names.
The cutting toenails oneā¦that is so me.

Brilliant, the finger and nose test, gait, injection sites and name tags, thatās me to a t!
Hi Elmo. Thanks for posting this. Provided me with some definite chuckle moments.
Personally, No.13 resonated with me. I have parked my car at the supermarket on several occasions, gone inside to do my shopping and exited having forgotten where I had parked the car.
Itās not easy trying to remain āsuper coolā whilst deep inside youāre thinking, " Where the hell did I park the car?".
Of course, the correct strategy is to park in the same place every time. Lesson learnt.
Best wishes
