Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Geo, During the first year I managed to control my balance by holding on to things and using a cane. When you're in a wide open space I would panic because I didn't have anything to hold on to if I fell so by the end of the year I turned to the walker. What a relieve it was I could go anywhere then. No panic time no stress just felt more confident moving around. Everyone is different Geo but you seem to have quit a bit of balance when I saw you in Orlando. I was amazed how well you controlled your steps. You're know when its time but don't wait until you fall and break something!!...............Looking for you in Florida somewhere.......................Flora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Geo, that's the old tense up mode. Nervousness stiffens me up to I do the same thing when the doctor watches me walk, just goes with the PLS territory. Good to know your normal right! LOL................Its like talking in front of people oh how I hate that but I make myself do it. Weebles, yes I guess we're like that but they don't seem to fall down darn it...............Flora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
