around, I try not to use it so much. Then I crash.Without warning, just like you said, right into the wall. I just tipover.

I just smashed, face first into the wall, here at my officethis morning. Only two co-workers saw me but they are used to it.

Sometimes I just wonder if I've lost my mind. I am walkingand after not very far, my legs just seem to stop. I stand there lookinglike an idiot because my legs wont go forward. I have learned torecognize it a bit sooner and if I stop and rest before they get to thepoint that they just wont go, I can usually make it farther. One morequestion if you don't mind. Today when we were leaving his game andwalking across the grass, I was of course loosing my balance more thannormal because it was really uneven. I told my husband that people whosee me walk must think I am drunk (and I don't even drink). I wobble andsway. Even at home on flat floors I go sideways and crash into the wallsfrequently with no warning. I have begun walking with my hands on thewall beside me and I don't crash as much.
