Lol, no. I mean the way the penguins waddle is like me touching the walls when I walk. Touching one side then the other side (at work).

Okay, now I've got the picture.    :)

I seem to be needing to widen my base, for more stability.  My partner has noticed my gait is changing, so it's not just my imagination.  I wish it were.

Hey Kixit, just getting around to reading your thread here! I know that impatient feeling you talked about!  Funny thing is, you think it's never going to go back to normal, but then before you know it, all those funny pains and aches and other things that were so prominent at some point decided to sneak away and you never noticed.  Like for me, I had middle fossa and they cut some of the jaw muscle on the scalp to get to the tumor.  After surgery I couldn't open my mouth more than a finger width.  It seemed like it took forever but then one day I just noticed it was completely normal...I had no idea when it got to that point. So hang in there! Let us know how it goes!
Take care!
Jay
