welcome Colleen/unknown type

[Guest guest]

Hi Colleen,

Welcome to our goup. I have CMT, but I don't know what

type. Have no children and have just never persued the

type. I was diagnosed when I was 15 and now I'm 53. I'm in

a wheelchair, it's much easier then falling all the time

even with AFOsS. I can get around alot better and faster

and I don't seem to get as depressed as much. Don't really

know how that fits in, but it's working so I'm not asking

any questions. Hubby is more relaxed too, doesn't have to

worry about me as much when he's working. I also have a

service dog named Gallager that helps me alot and always by

my side.
