Buzz, thanks for the education! I admire your eloquence and humor. Had not considered the startle reflex before.
My peripheral neuropathy is a side effect of some or all of the treatments for cancers I’ve had in the last few years. The layer of numbness on the bottom of my feet accentuate my innate clumsiness but my gate has improved with time.
The emotional part has been hard. Being “less than” and coming to grips that it may be permanent frustrates me often. Especially since my grip strength has been affected ;-). I used to be the “Hey, open this jar” guy!
