I’m 86 still play music 3 or 4 times a week, go to the gym 5 days a week & spend a spend the most of 2 hours on the machines. The leg strengthening has Helped my balance a lot. I loved hiking in the hills of Arizona & Oregon,
I don’t do these anymore & walking in the dark is a problem.
I read that MIT has been experimenting with injecting a product into some animals that repairs damaged nerves & looking @ trying it on humans in the future.
Ya’ll take care.

I feel a little oink, oink today. Bring on those injections. I also have had a love of hiking, my brain says yes you can my body says do you remember how sore you were when you fell on the front porch. I still want to. Glutton for punishment. I push myself anyway. I already had p/n before my back surgeries and then I developed drop foot to boot. I wear an afo brace at work, but not around the house. I mow my lawn, grocery shop pretty much what I want. Thank God my drop foot is in my left leg or I probably wouldn't be driving. I cannot work from a ladder anymore but I still climb for the experience. I guess I'm a little defiant. My bigger concerns is in crowds as people can cause problems as I have a hard time dodging them I cannot move quickly out of the way. Keep up your exercises, that does help me. You take care sir and have a good day !
