Default Do NOT EVER feel dumb!

You got word that your doc'd see you and where! I sure hope you went!

I was dealing with a sudden bout of 'weakness' [as in suddenly I'd lost all leg strength?] and first fell and fractured an ankle. Next month I fell well and good and fractured my leg! I've just gotten 'walking papers' today, meaning I get to go thru extensive PT to relearn how to walk and rebuild muscles that haven't been worked much for the last 4 months.

I wouldn't wish that whole experience on my worst enemy. But, all that's happening to you IS scary. Something must be going on, what it is? Is up to your docs. Or go and get second, third or more opinions until you at least know what it isn't. That's why Liza Jane put together that 'list' and start getting copies of your records and 'checking' things off.

I truly know what it's lilke to suddenly be trundling and then, BOOM! It's as if your legs have dissolved. Do be super-duper careful in the meantime? Falling can be a very messy thing. Many here will attest to that fact.

Let us all know how you are doing, please! Heaps of these:
