Are wobbly legs with PN caused by muscle weakness or fear?

Ray - I went to the Baltimore Orioles stadium a couple of times this season. I didn’t have special seating, but could manage going up and down the bleacher steps to get to my seat because with the railing they had (for me, climbing UP is easier than descending steps). Then we went to the Cleveland Indians/Guardian stadium for two games, similar seats were selected. I was alarmed to find no rail at all to get down/up to our seats. I had to waddle like a crab, holding each side chair without trying to touch people that may have been sitting in them. My fault for taking rails for granted, but no handicapped seats were available (online) when we were selecting our seats and I assumed I could manage it. But folks are so nice, they almost always offer to help!

I’m often astounded at the small size of what for me is a challenge. The dental clinic I go to encourages patients to enter by the front street door and exit by the side street door. The side street door opens on a backlot and asks that patients go down two small cement steps to the sidewalk. There’s no handrail and nothing within easy reach like the building wall that might be touched –– and as many of us with PN know, a simple “touch” is often all it takes to make us feel safe. As I hop out of the dental chair, I tell the hygienist I’m going out by way of the entrance. She knows me now and simply says, “I understand.”
