Thanks everyone for the advice and understanding! This is such a new feeling! I ride horses and don't think twice when I get dumped but I've been riding for 24yrs so it's second nature. I ride dirt-bikes and don't get nervous, fearful or embarrassed when I bite it in front of everyone! This is just crazy!

I do have a neighbor who has a bike, maybe she will let me wobble around the neighborhood until I get my balance.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with me-I'm so glad that I found this site!
