Yes, me too. My balance is atrocious and things like typing this are becoming impossible because of numb hands. However, you are quite right, it is all about not taking risks if possible and being over-cautious about falling. Having had some really bad falls, I now go very carefully with my walking sticks and tend to watch the floor to make sure I 'pick my feet up'. It is not a good posture, but does help. Despite every caution, there are moments when I nearly go over as the lack of balance can catch you out in the simplest of movements. Like you, I just live with it, grateful to still be here and enjoying jaunts out with my dog on my trusty mobility scooter. I have a close relative who is fighting terminal cancer and going through the Hell of the treatments -compared to her, bless her, my difficulties are a doddle.
