I wonder when I read about so many people falling. I have only fallen twice so far. I do have balance problems and catch myself often. Also, my son and daughter watch me as I am walking. It really isn't so bad, and yet I know that it will only get worse. I have been thinking of the walking stick idea instead of a cane. Maybe I can have a friend carve it specially for me. Oh well, I guess I will get used to the falls in good time, meanwhile I will just try to stay balanced. don't forget how to laugh Marling [log in to unmask] (work) or [log in to unmask]
