If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it must have Ataxia.

I'm constantly trying to adapt to my Ataxia so I do not injure myself. I use a walking aide to help me catch my balance when I stumble and I consciously point my feet more like a duck to give me more support,and think that I have to bend my knees. I now realize I sound like a duck at certain times which is funny sounding. I have tried to swallow my pride when I'm stared at and see that look on others face saying, "Whats wrong with him?"I need to do what I have to do, so Quack! My speech is like Daffy Duck
