About Me
76 yrs old. 5ft/7in. 180lbs. Did alpine skiing and snow boarding in2006. I still bowl but I had to reduce the wt of my bowling ball to 12 lbs. Two incidents occured which led me to believe that there was something wrong with my balance. The first one while I was cross country skiing in a driving snow storm on the river. I fell and could not get up. Fortunately, someone on the bank saw me struggling during strom abatement and call for help. The second incident occured when I was cycling on a bike trail. My left handle bar caught on a gate post and I took a dive opening a big gash in my leg
