Thanks Sal and Deb

At this stage, I seem to be able to 'bounce'

After I land, I regroup, count everything, check that everything can still move ok, take a deep breath, try not to cry, because there are always bruises, grazes and/or muscle strains, check whether anyone has seen me fall (and laugh if they have - because it is better than crying in front of people).

Then I get up slowly, tell myself not to overreact and keep going.

I am just waiting for the day when it won't be that simple, and the realist in me knows that it is coming - you are right, it is happening too often. Most often, it seems to be that my otherwise healthy right leg slips, trips or stumbles, then I put my left leg down to catch me and it just folds up. There are no other necessary factors, like fatigue, heat, alcohol, or any of the other fun stuff.

I don't quite know where to take it from here, my husband, and my neuro are both aware of this happening. Yes, my attitude is good - I can't change this, so what is the point of being melancholy, but still I do worry - even though I know that worrying never solved anything.

Thanks again

Hugs
