Learning Past Cause vs. Quality of Present Life?

Hello, Ed (@njed)

I also realize that expecting an answer to the question, "What caused this?" is a bit of a hopeless pursuit. I learned from watching my neurologist's face, the face of a man I trust. I'd no sooner begin to ask, "What do you think may have cau–– ?" and I see a veil fall over his face––the face of a man who's ordinarily eager to talk––like I was his toddler son about to ask, "Why's the sky blue, Daddy?" The lesson was clear as anything: Better to spend your time, Ray, going for walks (no matter how clumsy) and doing your stretches, strengthening, and balance work!

@ray666 Ray, could not agree with you more! Yesterday, went for a walk...well it was hot for sure but did it anyway. Got back to house, felt good about the walk and it wasn't easy but as I'm learning with this PN, any accomplishment doesn't come easy from a physical point of view but the fact that I did the walk with a struggle made it even more worthwhile. I walked with the AFO's and a cane slow but determined to do it. Keep walking and might help with balance as well.
