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. Kat On Fri, 30 Aug 2002 07:25:55 -0700 "J.
