A few years back my husband and I lost quite a bit of weight. As a result of that weight loss I managed to get back up on my feet and walk with the aid of a walker, then forearm crutches. I am, up until now, pretty well mobile at home but use a scooter or wheelchair when out and about.
Well, boys and girls, after my recent attack of spasms, quiet now, I have found that I drag my left leg. It is hard to maneuver in this manner, tiring too.
My middle toe has gone crooked and I have resorted to wearing a toe sleeve to protect it when I walk. It if is unprotected I find myself walking on the first joint....ahhhhhh, that hurts! So, looks as if I might have to go in a wheelchair most of the time.
I have also found that my balance is really lacking. I bring myself to a standing position and wow, look out, I may crumble at the slightest provocation.
So again I am off a plateau, in a progression state and looks like some more of my independence is going bye bye.
By the way, if I need a wheelchair, can it please be lime green?
