Oh, dear @pmm, that is nothing to sneeze at! When you tell medical about your fall, remember to include it was a reaction to a snake in your face, not just a "simple" balance issue!

I use a cane more and more, not trusting any surface my left foot lands on. Seeing that I cannot feel anything with that foot, I am always watching the ground, but even little changes can make me jumpy. Fortunately the neuropathy is only in my left leg/foot!
