Hi, Ed (@njed) - Basically, he said to keep doing what I'm doing (PT, emphasis on leg stregthening), maybe pick up the intensity a little. He aso suggested I give some attention to ankle strength (ankle weights, heel walking, toe walking, etc.) I'm to see him again in 3 mos. when we'll examine my PN and balance situation more carefully. So on we go! -Ray

Ray, in all sounds like good news. I think somebody 80 years old (or thereabouts) and the doctor wants the patient to pick up intensity a little, that is a good challenge so give it a shot and good luck. Perhaps balance will improve with leg strengthening. You'll know in 3 months.
