What to ask a podiatrist?

Yesterday I went to my my first (crowded) sports venue since the start of my PN. I was nervous, cane only, and logged a record number of steps for the day (4x average). It was absolutely amazing how people helped me along the way even with my husband there. Stepping off curbs, letting me ahead in lines etc. On our long way out of the stadium, one friendly chatty man took it upon himself to tap everyone’s should ahead of us to politely clear the way for us. For my safety. ( I think he was a bit inebriated as were some of the off balance people ahead of me, unless they too had PN or something 😊). I just think on the most part people are genuinely caring and want to be helpful!

Debbie,

As I get more comfortable toting my cane – and remembering to tote it! – I'm enjoying a similar response from people ahead and to the sides of me: they're eager to be of help, and (important to a guy like me who's still a little about my need for help) without being overbearing! They're just trying to be good people.
