Re: standing while talking to others

[Guest guest]

I too know the feeling of losing balance while doing the simplest things.

Which is why I try to keep my chatting ventures in a sitting down position, lol

I've found that my AFOs simply do not hold me steady while in a

standing position. They're great for helping me walk, but I must have

my cane when standing for support. Otherwise I lean on my husband or a

wall. (I prefer my husband, though)

K.,

I tell my husband he is my seeing eye dog. I make him hold my hand in crowds

and standing in line. LOL

A cane or crutch is a great aid for maintaining balance while

standing and walking. I can stand without support with my AFOs which

have rigid support in front of the knee instead of behind the knee.

However, I now need the crutch for balance when walking.
