The Lenox Hill Hospital has a website with some documents on preventing falls. On the webpage below there is a link to download a document entitled "Simple Balance Exercises" and another link to download "Keep your Balance".
They also have a video entitled, "Planning for an Unplanned Trip"

Thank you for the details,

By the time I got there I was breathing like I had croup, throat was swollen. I put my gloved hands over my mouth and breathed in through my nose which now felt like an ice cube. Wow, it was scary but I knew I would be fine. Took a few minutes to settle down and then we continued. Any cold causes the pins and needle feeling.

My husband was/is 4A but he only was on 4 cycles of CAPEOX total. His oncologist said that there are two schools of thought on this. One is more conservative about chemo, so to speak, and the other camp is the opposite. I was (still am) not the biggest fan of chemo (to say the least) but I sometimes wonder if my husband was on it enough, especially because he has not stuck to a healthy diet. My husband does not seem worried, however.
