@Kitt: In the last 8 years I have had 2 brain surgeries for aneurysms, 3 strokes, 4 seizures and assorted TIA's. I just had L3-4 fusion in November. (Aren't I a fun guy)Ever since my craniotomy the feeling on my right side has felt about 95% when compared to the left. Never numb, pins and needles not the things you usually have. My legs just feel "heavy" and any change in balance sends me right over.

For some strange reason lately it is terrible. I can barely walk and need my walker. We have tried everything, PT, Hydro, sacrificing a goat. You name it. Falling so much is getting old real fast. I also work out at a place called the "Challenge Center" that only works with stroke survivors, spinal injuries. There seems to be a sudden change in the earth's gravitational pull as I like to say and whump. My spine is whacked. I had three epidurals last year and before the last one my Dr. comes in and say, " I was just looking at your films, you need a new spine." Mr. Ray of Sunshine. We figure the high level athletics at which I have competed (Division I basketball in college and on the US wheelchair fencing team now.) Ok I sat most of college but those benches get real hard.

So now I'm just frustrated my body is doing this.
