Apart for the odd leg giving way and falling over I'm also having problems with my speech when talking to students or other teachers I'm having problems with getting some words out. Its not like a stutter but more the problem of saying the word. Its awfully frustrating especially when trying to explain something to my students. They are fantastic, they know about my back problems and the medication I'm taking. We have a laugh when I nearly fall over from my leg giving way or when I cant get a word out. I'm lucky to have such great kids in my classes.
Laughter is far better than feeling sorry for yourself.
