Still Falling After All These Years or at least 18 months -

Hello Fellow Travelers!  On this super-long journey back from the abyss, or wherever you're coming from it's where we're going that's important, right?  The price of having a brain tumor removed, my price seems to be a complete removal of balance and coordination.  That's my way of rationalizing it when I fall, and I still fall a lot.  Less than I used to, never on my head, but I still fall.  It's always a surprise, too.  I have bruises all over in various stages of color.  I fell again just last night, and skinned my back.  Unlike bruises, a big scrape or scratch (I can't even see it to describe it here) is really painful.  Every time you take a shower or change your clothes, "Ouch!" or some other colorful interjection.  Another life-changing discovery I made on this "Fantastic Voyage", is that we are all breakable.   When I was first out of surgery but taking Radiation and Chemotherapy I fell many times and broke both arms and several ribs.  All the breaking has made me a little more judicious in the steps I take and the medications I don't.
