Re: More Tripping/Falling/Balance

July 18, 2000

Hi Carolyn, yes I have that same problem. In fact this last Saturday at our

CMT support group meeting I was attempting to stand up and almost sat back

down again. It was kinda funny because everyone in the room leaned forward

as if to catch me. LOL They said I scared them half to death. They

themselves deal with the same issue.

I also find that certain shoes can play apart in this tipping backwards after

standing. Needles to say I've checked the heel of my shoes and they have wore

down uneven which explains more why I tipped backwards. When I try on shoes

and stand I know immediately if they will work or not. If I start to tip

back then it's a no. Then I consider the other issues with buying a shoe.

That that is the first thing I check out... THE TIPPING....

STAY SAFE, Jeanie
