Wanted to check in with those in this discussion where @couldusehelp was talking about unexplained falls after a good recovery from a stroke.
@couldusehelp - how is your gait lately? What did your doctor say about the falling?
@bille - have you had any more experiences like you mentioned when you fell on the driveway? How are you doing?
I also wanted you to meet @hopeful33250 and @brightwings. brightwings - have you experienced any falls after going through recovery from your stroke?

@lisalucier....after cerebellar stroke falls are pretty much to be expected. I made a great recovery after a large cerebellar stroke. The one thing I did not improve so much in is recovery after a slip or stumble. The reflex to correct we all have, is gone, at least for me, so my falls are easily explained. But, even if a person did not have a large amount of damage, seems there would still issues with trip/slip and correction. If I'm wrong here, I don't mind being corrected.
Oh! Just realized! This post is not in the cerebellar stroke subject. Darn. I guess I don't know what I'm talking about, lol!
