Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi Jim, I was real sorry to hear about your fall but I am glad you're okay. Falling has been my biggest fear so far. I've only fallen once about a month ago. I think, for me, it's just scary when you realize that your feet won't catch you anymore. My father want's me to start using a cane. I'm being very stubborn about this because I'm only 39 and I guess it's probably my way of not wanting to deal with this whole thing yet. (Better start though huh?)

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Jim, Falling is something I do along with tripping. Part of my life and routine. Embarrassing as heck, I don't think one gets over that. My sister uses a cane. Cant think of the name of it right off hand, but its long and the top wraps around her arm. And has a side handle for her hand to grasp it. She was told not to get it, but she did anyway and oh my, what a difference it has made. Much more stability. She wont go anywhere without it.
