So sorry to hear you have a tricky balance issue. Scary stuff.

Actually my balance is usually good+ to excellent, unless I'm extra tired then I can be a bit off.

First sprain I was jumping off the he stage for a JHS school play and I landed wrong. Then like ?15 yrs later the side of my foot hit a dip in a subway staircase where the banister was and turned my ankle.

Most of the time it involved my foot landing fairly hard
on an angled surface I wasn't expecting. I had like 3 more
And I can remember having 'weak ankles' when trying to ice skate (vs 4 wheeled skates) even before the first accident.

Anyway a sports medicine doctor taught me a simple exercise when after all these my ankle started to lose some flexibility. Worked like a charm! Taught it to others.

I took Tai Chi (2xs) later on. It really strengthed my ankles. I had only one after that. That was like 15ish yrs ago. 👍

As for Broooooce. I guess I've seen him 15+ times since '76. We heard about him in NYC because the rock station I was mostly listening to had a few DJ fans - so we heard some tracks from the first album onward. 🙂
I got to see them 3x's in a theater, before all the arenas, and stadiums we did later! 🎶🎤🎸🎶😁
