Thanks so much for your post & for the compliment about me being a librarian. I really enjoy being a reference librarian & I'm lucky to be working in such a large library (Fort Lauderdale Main Library). I had never had this before & was hoping against all hope that everyone would say---"NO, I have never had that". I guess that is what they call "grasping at straws" Anyway, now that I realize it is here to stay, I have been watching normal people walk, & men seem to strike out with their heels hitting first, & women go off with their toes & ball of the foot hitting the floor first. I have been trying to concentrate on my walking more. Years ago I had a bad fall when my Husband & I were out for a walk. The Neurologist asked me to set up the scenario for him & as I did he said "You had too many things on your mind at one time & PWP can't do that". I said "You mean I can't walk & chew gum at the same time"? He said "Almost"!!! For a long time after that I did concentrate on walking, but you know how that goes. If you don't fall for awhile you get over confident!!!! Take care of yourself----I never answer the phone at home anyway---I let my Husband or the answering machine & at work it is right beside me-- so hopefully I won't meet your fate!!! The bad part of broken toes is they don't set them---they just let you suffer!!!! I think that is terrible!!!! They set fingers, but not toes. I wonder why? As Ever, Marjorie Moorefield just another librarian (with PD)
