    Hey everyone. It’s Kara I’m been doing great. I’m still having a little bit of pain from last years incident with my back it’s a lot better then it was. The college here started 6 weeks ago. I’m taking my American Sign Language class again. I couldn’t go yesterday because I had a follow up with my GP. I was looking out at the bay from my house. Well I was coming down the steps the wind came up pretty strong I lost my balance and fell down and sprained my ankle really bad. I was taking to the ER by ambulance because my mom and dad couldn’t get me up.

    Kara! Thanks for posting about your back but I am so sorry you fell again. Please stop falling!

    I bet learning sign language is fun. I wish I knew it.

        Oh well maybe you can learn how to fall. In horseback riding, I was taught how to fall first by putting my arms around my horse's neck, clasping my hands, and sliding off to the side and pushing away from the horse.

        Maybe you can somehow learn to fall more relaxed or something.

        Anyway, I hope you heal quickly.

          Hi, Kara,
          I am sorry to read that you fell. I hope you heal quickly! I have taught some sign language to my students before I retired. I am teaching it now to an after school church group. It's a lot of fun.

            That so cool Karen. I designed to start learning sign language due to being hard of hearing.
