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 I’m going to plunge into them. And the thought: “Whatever I do, I mustn’t trip into that!” 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 wasn’t gonna make it …

Excellent, laughed at a lot of them.

I love the one to do with having a shower and the name tags…I’m terrible at remembering names.

The cutting toenails one…that is so me.

Brilliant, the finger and nose test, gait, injection sites and name tags, that’s 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.

It’s not easy trying to remain ‘super cool’ whilst deep inside you’re 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
