Bernie by all means pay attention to your sense of balance. I only spent a week in hospital and only 3 of those in ICU after a bout with the Reaper in 2007. When I got home from the hospital and tried to do everything normally (go up & down stairs, play with the dog, get out of bed or up off the John), I came near to several potentially bad falls (going down some stairs headlong trying to reach and grasp the bannister; trying to climb in and out of my boat on its trailer). It doesn't take much of a blow to fracture your skull, and the aftermath is usually all down hill from there. Take it easy & slow!
