What have you done to improve balance?

@domiha Hi Mike - glad to hear your balance is not getting worse in the past year and the AFO's are helping out with balance. But a stumble or fall can be a little dangerous. I have not fallen since the summer of 2023, and that one was a bad one. I now pay closer attention to where my feet are like not tangled around the leg of a kitchen chair when I walk. And I am careful to make sure my feet are pointing towards the direction in which I'm heading. It's a process of thinking where my size 14 feet are and since paying closer attention, I've had no falls. You hit the nail on the head; life is different, and we will continue to change, and we need to make adjustments along this way. Since my wife passed away in Feb of this year, now living alone, I am VERY careful, and I hope you are as well. Stay safe and keep moving. Ed

Ed - I think of you often, and the challenges you’ve faced after recently losing your wife -soulmate, coach, motivator, researcher, and half of your housekeeping & well-being. Like you said, a lot of things worse than PN 😪. I’m hoping your cooking lessons are going ok, because I think good nutrition helps us. I have no doubt you “Keep Moving” -you probably are being forced to do more than ever. I’m just wondering, have you considered one of those systems that knows when you’ve fallen and need help? I used to see them advertised a lot, but really don’t know much about them. Hugs 🙂
