MS creates some real challenges to keep on moving. It helps to inspire each other on how to find ways to move.

Did you stretch in your bed, swing your arms, roll side to side today? Or perhaps you did housework? Or exercised in a pool? Tracked your count of steps? Chased your cat around the home? Pushed the wheelchair wheels with your arms at the store? Post them here and we can support and egg each other on.

REMEMBER: This is a keep on moving thread, not keep on exercising! Any moving is important it doesn't have to be exercise! Even Science proves that.
Better late than never--here it is the 5th of the month already, and I'd like to say I've been so busy exercising that the time has flown by but in reality I'm just slow.

The world has been waiting for my September average step count. So here at long last it is: 1,039 steps/day (based on 26 days)

Not a stellar record but I did have 2 falls in September. Of course those falls might not have happened if I'd been walking more.

Others here will chime in about what kind of exertions or even exercise you've been doing, I hope.]]> Multiple Sclerosis agate https://www.braintalkforums.org/forum/neurological-disorders-and-injury/multiple-sclerosis/274349-october-keep-on-moving-thread Pocket dialing https://www.braintalkforums.org/forum/neurological-disorders-and-injury/multiple-sclerosis/274328-pocket-dialing Wed, 23 Sep 2026 18:02:14 GMT The people who keep track of words at the Oxford English Dictionary are listing pocket dial and pocket dialing as terms that have recently entered... pocket dial and pocket dialing as terms that have recently entered the language to the point where the OED sees fit to include them.

To make sure I had the meaning right, I asked (who else?) AI and was told:

A pocket dial is an accidental phone call made when a mobile phone in a pocket, purse, or bag registers unintended touches against its screen or buttons
I get a lot of wrong-number calls and this is probably one reason why. I don't know about other people but I don't like the idea that I might be interrupting someone's day by having a phone that accidentally makes calls.
