I have been falling on the average of once a month for the last year or so. I have been very fortunate that I have only bruised my dignity. But most of the time it is because I lose my equilibrium and fall backwards. It is almost like a moment of blackout. A lot of the time it is pushing myself too much when having freezing episodes. I now have an alarm necklace that is connected to american alarm company that calls me in just a few minutes to assist me if I have an accident. Also., I am trying to accept my limitations more and adapt to them more willingly. change is very hard for me and I have had a lot of changes in my life since my caregiver is no longer with me! carol gray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
