@ray666 - Your comment to "keep moving" is so important and each person needs to determine the safest and best way possible. As the years go by with my sensory motor PN, I now use a cane more than I did a few years back and for about $20 a person can purchase a cane to provide extra balance. This isn't complicated, it's a matter of not falling and ending up in the ER.....or worse. Make adjustments as needed and I'm hoping many will take your advice. You use a timer, I use Alexa....whatever works to keep moving. Ed

Good morning, Ed (@njed)
I have good friend who's a cognitive behavioral therapist. I've never been in therapy myself (other than physical therapy, of course), but a long tome back, this friend, playing as if she were really my CBT therapist. asked me what my "wants" were, wants, that if they were realized, my make my life happier. Now, you have to remember, this was a longtime ago, before PN began to really mess with my balance. One of the wants I answered was: I want always to keep moving, not only physically, but in things like curiosity, dreams, all of my likes, thoughts, and feelings. Today, like you, I go about with a cane, but my "want"––to always keep moving––remains unchanged.
Here's wishing you a good day, Ed!

P.S. I have a Bay Alert watch on my left wrist. I never thought I'd be wearing one of these but, alas, the future is not ours to predict. 🙂
