A quick recap - I tripped in January this year not only did I damage my head but also my left knee. Amongst all the symptoms I knew my balance was pretty poor but put a lot of that down to the damage to my knee 25 mm (1 inch) of enamel has gone. And although it is 9 months still waiting for a proper examination.

Anyway one of the wife's old nursing colleagues came over. The conversation inevitable came round to my injury. Can't remember ( ) how it happened but I ended up doing some basic balance tests in front of both of them - how exciting is my life now

What a disaster, walking slowly one foot in front of the other, balance on one leg - that was funny, balance on two feet front of each other

Well I new my balance was poor but I didn't know it was that bad - quite shocked deep down as i used to have really good balance
