Default Thanks everyone - now I don't feel like a nut!

I'm so glad I connected with this board. It's true that it feels like we're speaking a different language, tweek, twang, bionic butt (that's my fav)!

I hope to get to the point of contributing very soon, however I have a few new problems that perhaps someone has some insight to share. First, whenever the stim is on, no matter if the settings are high, medium or low, I am a total klutz. I keep walking into things, bouncing off walls. If I start walking a straight line, I end up going diagonally which usually ends with my face in the wall. The upside is that I'm entertaining my kids. Anyone else have this happen?

Secondly, as if the above isn't enough, in my extreme clumsiness I fell up the stairs and then fell back down a few. I have a few nice bruises and scrapes, but the real problem is that I landed right on the implant. I think it moved out of place a bit. I'm assuming that's not a problem with the system in general but it feels like something is pulling when I move, especially stretch.

Third, my doctor is out of town this week and they said unless it's an emergency, I can wait until he gets back.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Mary
