Cheryl,
I am sure that those who saw you fall, or just afterward, thought that you had
a lot of guts to get out and shop. I hope this doesn't keep you from going
again. You go girl!!!!!

Hi John,
I wish I could say I had no pain for even a few seconds. But,from the
moment I open my eyes until I go to sleep the burning
pain,numbness,tingling,and "banding" are my constant companions.
Today is a really bad day. Yesterday I went to Walmart with my
daughter Lynn.While walking down an aisle,the cart got ahead of me somehow,and
the next thing I knew I was flat on the floor. It almost felt like there was a
slant to the floor.
I let go of the cart so it wouldn't fall over with me.So there I was
,lying face down.Only one person stopped to help.She held her cart,Lynn held
mine and I tried to push up on my "good" leg,but couldn't do it. Lynn went and
got an employee who brought an automated cart,and I was able to get up by
leaning on the seat and pushing up.
Today I am bruised on my legs and forearms,and achy all over.But,I am
so thankful I didn't break any bones.Lynn says she never saw anyone fall "in
one piece" without bending knees.Scared her;she thought I was having a stroke
or heart attack.
Cheryl in Easthampton,MA.

Does anyone ever have moments that they don't feel anything?
Moments of "no pain" but then you move and shazam! there it is
again?
