@cekkk Thank you for sharing your story @cekkk- sounds like you married the right woman! I wonder what you're doing for that compromised nerve in your leg- PT, OT, exercise program? Sometimes it's a vicious cycle- afraid to fall, so we don't move around as much as we should, then we get weaker, more afraid of falling and on and on. Hope you find some ways to remediate your foot drop and compromised thigh strength.

I'll see her neurologist in early February to discuss the results of the EMG and MRI or CT that he had done. He told me not to use the treadmill. It's too cold to swim, although I have both a solar heater and a propane heater, but it's too cold for the solar and the propane heater uses four to five gallons an hour, so I'm waiting till it warms up a bit. I do have other exercise equipment and I need to get off my Duff and do it. I can't wait to get back in the pool.
