Cindy, not sure if this will reach you. Thought I’d replied already, but can’t see it anywhere.
Thanks for your very helpful comment. I have an “evenup” shoe raiser and it is really an improvement. Judging from your comments I’m going to use my crutches more, especially for outside walking. I was trying to decide about a rollator, but intuitively kind of realised it wouldn’t be the perfect choice. I need to put some of my weight on walker/crutches and I figured a rollator isn’t designed for that.
Until recently I was a bit worried about crutches, but I’m gaining more and more confidence in them and your remarks have reassured me.
Also, progress is inevitably slowing down. It’s 11 months since I had the Girdlestone procedure. Must say, I’m pleased with how far I’ve come, but I think I’ve got a bit lazy, a bit complacent. Your comments always encourage me to keep going and move forward.
I wish you well in every way. Terry
