Re: ROUGH TIME OF IT

[Guest guest]

Hi Lynn, OH MY that must be scary. Do you actually pass out, or do

your legs just " give out " under you? I know that the following advice

is going to sound strange, but here goes: Look for a Martial Arts

School, specifically I-Ke-Do (spelling?). Look for a school that

gives private lessons, and tell The Instructor that you want to learn

how to fall correctly. Explain why.

I trained for years, earned a BlackBelt, and there is one thing my

body still remembers from all that training, and that is how to fall

with out getting really hurt.

Oh man, don't you just wish, sometimes, that if you HAD to be ill, it

would be something everyone knows (that includes Docs) and recognizes

and knows what to do? Like a Cancer. Oh I know I am crazy for

thinking that. But, Lynn, I know what you are going thru and how it

about makes you crazy.
