I'm new here, but welcome. I understand your leg problem. I have Parkinson's and sometimes seem to do more falling and trying to balance myself then jump from one pool to the next.

Please let me relate one story. It was early in the season and my daughter and I had gone up into the high country. It was a partly cloudy and a blustery day. The stream look good but the brush and rocks didn't. We came to one spot with a rock in front of me. But, I wanted to get to the open area on the other side. My daughter said she wasn't going for that and sat down and watch me.

I went over to the rock started to climb over it. I got both legs on one side and lost my balance. I very slowly slid backward off the rock and came to a very soft landing. However, my hands and feet were straight up in the air. I looked like an old Sow bug on its back, not being able to move. I immediately started laughing and when I rited myself I looked at my daughter and she was laughing hysterically.

That day will stand out in my memory until I don't have the memory to remember anymore. LOL.
