ryc: Yeah, It's so crazy the irrational fears we feel after an event that was so uncontrollable, and ultimately an "accident" Our fight or flight response kicks into gear to avoid it from happening again everytime we confront situations even remotely similiar to those which caused our accident. I know I have become obsessed with picking up dropped objects people leave on the floor (pen's, napkins, etc) at school. Because someone could trip on them. I avoid the cracks on the sidewalk, even tho i know it's irrational and unlikely that I would fall again. I have caught myself offbalance a few times since it happened and everytime I cringe inside because I start to fear deforming myself in another way....but I know that eventually these fears will go away, and my comfort levels will rise and I'll do all the things I want to do. And this will happen for you too, because it happened with my broken leg. I now confront winters head on...with yaktraax. I forget if you live in the north but if you need to walk on ice/snow i totally recommend yaktrax for piece of mind ( i fell on ice when i broke my leg.
Good luck with the rest of your healing! I don't remember if I recommended this guy to you or not but I recommend an author named Pete Egoscue ( i think it's pete) he has great excersizes to help get your body all back in alignment!

good luck!
