When I was young, I had a very strange ability to fall gracefully and never
hurt myself. (My mother said it was the only graceful thing I could do). In
fact, there were several times that I would fall with a drink in my hand and
not spill a drop. Very weird. Wish I could still do it.
Perhaps it was because it was only my right leg that was spastic and even
then, rigidly spastic, not in a jerky way.
