The last time I checked my balance was last spring when I crossed a creek on a slippery log. What kept me from falling over was knowing the water was ice cold. Cheers and happy wekend!
My balance is off and has been for some time. Vertigo is something that occurs in older people. It may have something to do with my inner ear, but I take some medication for it and it's manageable.
The last time I stood up. I said to myself: "self, are you standing up?" When I said yes I knew right then I was balanced enough to take the next step. (no one heard me, so I'm cool)
I am fairly clumsy due to my dissolving ankle and other things. I can no longer stand on one leg. I would definitely fail a police 'walk ten steps, one foot in front of the other test.' Like Zack...every morning.
