Does the falling get worse once you started chemo?
It took over a year for it to kick in on me. Once it hit me I went from walking just fine to... not. And now I'm OFF chemo and still running into things. I haven't had any falls in 3 months or so, so I should stop whining.

Fight on, brother. We share this abomination of an affliction. The main difference (as far as I can tell) is that you have hopes of recovery, while mine (pancreas) is batting 1.000 against humanity. I've survived longer (3+ years) than I had a right to expect mostly because I won the wife-picking lottery. My lovely assistant insists on keeping me alive for some reason. Married or not, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have a good family and friends support system in place. On days when you're feeling particularly crappy, they will pump you up and remind you that YOU ARE A STRONG SUMBITCH. So that's my #1.
#2 is don't hesitate to ask for help when needed. And you will need it.
#3: Don't fall. I don't know how your treatment will treat you. But in my case, it turned a bicycle-racing champion into a clumsy fool who can't walk from one end of the house to the other w/o incident. Walking outside to check the mail is impossible. This one pisses me off. A lot. But it's better than falling, which I have some experience with. So... don't fall.
This is a lot of unsolicited advice and you're welcome to tell me to shove off. Either way, be strong and good luck to you.

I was blessed to grow up in the Dallas area where Verne covered the Cowboys for one of the 3 TV stations we had. So my fond memories may be more about the Cowboys than Verne. In any case, yeah I miss him, too. :bow:

A while back there was a good, local HS running back named, I kid you not, Miraculous Powers. I thought that was a genius move by his parents.
Sadly at the next level he bounced around the juco circuit for a while but didn't do anything miraculous.

If true this is a really dumb move by the old Alma Mater. But coming from Pawl, I have my doubts.

Posted by finestfirst79 on 4/24/22 at 5:10 pm
That was a WAY better game than my gut normally tolerates. And it happened despite Harry's jinx.
Good luck the rest of the season, Arkansas fans.
