“Abbot’s going to need a recoil-less rifle...”

There would be Texas Rangers holding his wheelchair steady. One time I almost fell right in front of him. We were at a gathering at the governor's mansion in Austin and were on the grounds under a tent. He and other dignitaries were in front of me, facing me.

I have fibromyalgia so my balance is poor - I keep my balance by using my eyes to see big objects like furniture or cars or buildings and I can see where my feet are. Under that tent there was nothing big to see and the grass was long and covered my feet - I couldn't tell where up was and lost balance, fell and grabbed my husband to stop the fall. Had he not been there, I would have been on the grass in front of Abbott.

I didn't let go of husband until I got out of that tent and on concrete to see my feet. Then, there were big objects I could see and I was fine. If I stand up and close my eyes, I don't know where up is and fall and hit the floor. I can close my eyes and have my hand on something to tell me where up is, and don't fall. I am so used to doing that, it's not a problem. But it was a problem that day. How would one recover from falling in that situation? Thank God it didn't happen.

Perhaps you can expand into State/Fed Constitutional Law?
