Pertaining to balance:

I have to see where my feet are landing in order to balance myself.... The

feeling in my feet is not the best and I need to know ahead of time if it is

level or bumpy in order to balance myself.... If it's bumpy I have to

prepare my knees for the possibility.

I hope this makes since.

I have been falling since age 5... I remember my Mom getting upset with me

because I would always put a run in my leotards.

But, she knew that I didn't have to be playing to fall.... She had seen me

fall whenever I was just standing. LOL

When I was younger the falls weren't as damaging but when I hit about 25 the

falls became very dangerous for me... I always seem to hurt my knee or

ankle.... I have fallen so many times and dealt with so much pain that after

one fall I didn't know that I had actually fractured my leg.... I was used

to falling and hurting for days on end because of the fall. I didn't find

out until 3 years later when an x-ray was taken of that leg after another

fall that I had had a fractured leg. LOL

Guess what...... last night my hubby got in my electric wheelchair to bring

it to me and he ran over my foot with it..... Needless to say I had to take

a couple of pain pills. He felt so bad about it.... It doesn't take much

pressure on my feet or legs to absolutely kill me with pain. I'm all better

today.... LOL

Bud in TX here--- I can identify with you. I always try to get away from the

crowd when church is over because I cannot STAND around & visit. A bit

antisocial I guess, but I can't function in a sea of moving humanity. It

isn't always easy to find a wall to steady myself.

Thanks for your time this time,

My balance is worse when I'm in a room full of people or even a small walk

way. With the people I feel I'm either going to loose my balance or I'm

going to trip over something or someone.

My daughter loves to come home from school and spread all her books and stuff

over the living room floor and then she lays down on the floor. My computer

is in a corner and I have to walk over her to go anywhere else.... This

means she has to make at least a 3 foot clear walking area for me and then I

still have to hold on to something to make sure I don't go down.... I'm sure

part of my problem now is that I can't pick my foot up high enough to get

over the smallest item.... I'm terrifies I'm going to fall.

I am not sure if age is a factor in falling, but I think disease progression

is a factor. Some people progress faster than others. I fall sometime. But,my

cane helps steady me. I am 46. Martha
