I'm debating on giving up driving, can't walk well without a cane, and am quickly headed back to the walker. If I could go back to have a do-over on life, I'd find another trade to follow.
Luckily, and I mean that I'm a real lucky guy on this, I have a wife that told me that she signed on for the long haul, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for the rest of her life. Because of this, I feel as if I'm not in this alone, and that makes me a lucky man.

Sorry to hear the gloomy prognosis on the balance issue Glad to hear you have a great gal!
