DATE: SUN, 12 Jul 1998 From: [log in to unmask] I have had PD for about 8 yrs. One of my worse fears has always been falling down and breaking an arm, leg, or whatever might been weak! My first "fall" happen as I was attending a meeting at Kings Island, Cincinnati. We were on are way to have lunch when, oops.. I misjudged a step and down I came! Results - one broken left hip - they had to replace the socket. That was in Jun-95. In Aug, 1 month later, I decided to have "Stroke"! During rehab, I had a problem with my colon.- needed 3 pints of blood. Now, it was just after Turkey day when oops.. I tripped and fell -there went the right hip. This time, it took 3 pins and 1 screw. Now all of this between Jun-Dec of 95. This was not one of my best years. Since then,I have fallen several times. My worse fear has always "falling". But life must go on! You can bet, I'll be careful. Geo.
