My Fingers Are On Backwards
One of the weird little MS things I get is with shoelaces.
I can be absolutely fine, then after something like my 6-minute treadmill challenge or halfway through a walk, I notice a lace has come undone.
Easy fix, right?
Except I bend down to tie it and suddenly it feels like my fingers have multiplied, swapped hands and been screwed back on backwards. 😂
I know exactly what I’m trying to do. Loop. Pull. Knot. Done.
My brain has the instructions.
My hands have apparently received:
ERROR 404: KNOT NOT FOUND
Something that normally takes five seconds suddenly feels like I’m trying to defuse a bomb wearing oven gloves.
It’s one of those tiny MS things that sounds ridiculous until you’ve experienced it. Fatigue doesn’t always mean “I need a nap.” Sometimes it means your fine motor control has quietly packed its bags and gone home.
Anyway, naturally I dealt with this in the mature and sensible way...
I wrote a song about it. 😂🎵
It’s called “My Fingers Are On Backwards.”
Song attached for the three people who actually listen to songs on posts. 😂

Speaks to all of us with motor skills issues. Slip holes and Velcro are my new best friends. 🤪
Catchy tune 🎶 relatable for sure⭐️
