Good morning!
"It's frustrating to have to remember this changed way of moving about."
I'm reminded of this every day. You may know from some of my other posts that my partner and I have kept the two houses we each had before we met. I use my house as a daytime "man cave" (yuck! I don't like that expression, but … ), but she and I are together at her house weekday evenings and all day weekends. (We tell our friends lots of time apart is what keeps us sane. LOL) But the point of my telling you this is my partner's house is all polished hardwood floors. (Mine is carpeted.) Her floors are beautiful – but, as a guy with PN, I have had to learn a new way of walking! My "new" way can be downright comical – if it weren't so %$&*# frustrating: second-by-second vigilance going from chair to chair, room to room, sofa to frig so that I don't go crashing to Earth (or rather crashing to the hardwood floors). I wear non-slip socks when I'm at my partner's house. Thank God for non-slip socks!
Cheers!

Good Evening, Ray! I have to tell you I got a chuckle at your expense imagining you moving from object to object at your partner's home just to keep upright. I was amazed, though, that you can walk at all without shoes. I don't understand how it is that with numb yet cold feet I cannot walk indoors or out without very stable shoes and not be in excruciating pain. But there it is. And that was a complicated sentence, to boot. This N.P. sure gives one lots to think about and deal with!
Cheers back to you!
