@amota I believe that fear or the thought of fear, is just that. I have Peripheral neuropathy, I'm 80, today I went fishing and walked to the end of the pier - 2340 feet. It wasn't easy, I m sure some people thought i had my shoes full. I thought about falling in (no rails) but stayed away from the edge. When fishing i stood at the edge 8 feet above the water. I asked myself am I afraid to get hurt, embarrassed or what others think, it hard to say but you'll never run if you don't walk. You'll never walk if you don't stand. Sitting in fear must be terrible. Have you tried double walking sticks with elbow and knee protection? Just how badly do you feel the need to get out.
