New challenges

I'm doing well, and am still enjoying every day, but balance is becoming an issue.  Man, do I hate that!  I always prided myself on my balance (physical, not mental!).  Reiterating an earlier post: pride goeth before a fall.  I've fallen on the ice and fallen while shutting a door -- two days in a row.  Both times in front of people. Dang.  It's very frustrating...I want to just lie there and recoup my equilibrium (the mental kind).

That doesn't make me terribly unhappy, though.  I just have to realize that it's a natural progression of my condition, and adjust my movements accordingly.

Spent time with Dolan's attorney discussing his trial today.  Law is pretty interesting.  When I went to college my intent was to become a lawyer and work in D.C.  That seems a lifetime ago.  Yet as we discuss legal tactics, I am fascinated all over again.

I'm also intrigued by counseling.  Is it too late to start another career?!  That is the one beauty of ALS: eventually all I will do is read and think constantly.  Can you imagine, though, my not being able to talk about what I am learning?!  Here comes electronic voice simulation!
