I suppose that falling must seem so demoralizing for Dennis, as if it's some sort of concrete proof that his body is not under his own control. There's as much grief in that as in any loss. He may just need to hide himself "under the covers" while he regroups and finds his courage again. The cancellation of this much-anticipated appointment at the Mayo Clinic must also be akin to yet another setback for him.

Anno, this is probably the safest place for you to come and "ramble" and vent and grieve and worry...we're here for you. I don't participate in this thread all the time, but I read every entry and follow Dennis' progress with interest, care and prayer. I hope you always feel safe to come here and just "be" and breathe with us.
