How do I handle this? jobs

I was fired from a job back in April and I feel like I have handled the circumstances around it as best as I can but I feel like it is starting to affect my ability to get a new job.

3rd week of March, I was dealing with heel pain from my left foot that needed to be taken care of it. March 28th, I went in to see a podiatrist and he proscribed a steroid (Methylprednisolone) to help quicken the healing process of the tendon and started wearing supports in my shoes. By March 30th, I was beginning to deal with the side affects of the steroid, i.e. difficulty sleeping, lack of appetite, and irritability.

I stuck it out because my heel started to feel better. On April 1st, I was using power equipment to take a pallet from our receiving area to outside garden and I misjudged the width of the pallet and I clipped the door going outside. One of the department managers came out and said, "You hit the door, jobthrowawaytx." Not in the mood to be remained of my faults, I responded, "I didn't hit the door, the pallet did." (I know I shouldn't have done that.) Well, he decided to go tell HR about it and it became a documented incident. Yes, I fixed the door. Put it back on its track, turned the power off then back on and made sure it functioned properly.

On April 7th, I was removing the last refrigerator on our appliance shipment trailer and instead of going straight back like I normally do, I turned because of being frustrated with the lack of space and the abnormal amount of people in our receiving area. In doing so, the refrigerator tipped over and fell to the floor. The store manager asked me if I was okay. Honestly, I wasn't. I wanted to cry out of frustration but I said I was okay. To make matters worse, our district manager and other members of corporate management were in the receiving area.

So sadly, the next day, I was fired because of the store manager's concern over the 2 accidents I had in one week even though I had worked there for 5 years.

When a possible employer asks me about why I was fired, how should I handle this? I've been telling them only about the part at the end because well, I'm at fault here even though I was on some medicine that was affecting my ability to my job. What possible employer wants to hear "the medicine I was on costed me my job" excuse?
