Hi Melane.....getting outside is definitely a goal to work towards! My hands and wrists were very sore in the beginning with broken skin, numbness and tingling (ulnar nerve entrapment) but I got exercises to do for that and as you start putting more weight on your legs and less on your hands and wrists, my symptoms went away. Maybe took a year for that to get better. My husband makes my shoes for me with a 2-3 inch leg length difference. He glues soles from one shoe with a flat flip flop in between to build up the shoe for me and works very well. Much cheaper than paying $200 to have one made for you, in my opinion. I have about 10 pairs of shoes/sandals I can wear now. Keep up the good work and wishing you continued success! Keep in touch to let me know how you are doing. There is a way you can send a private message on this forum too if you want to chat that way. Whatever works! Have a great day!......Cindy
