Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Cindy, So nice to have your response. When I read it, I realized how extreme our conditions can become. I have a feeling that I'm experiencing what you have, although it appears a little less intensely. Your response shows me how valuable this website can be. I'm inspired by your current result and your ability to move comfortably now. I hope that I can get to where you are-- fast! Any and all tips for progress are appreciated! Cheers, Lari > > when I put my feet together, I sway a bit to the right. I know I'm not healing the way anyone hoped, but he assures me it will get better. My gait was so " off " for so many years. That, coupled with the surgical assault on my muscles, and I'm all off kilter. Lari, > > I was way off kilter. My poor brain didn't know where I was in space (I had two tendon releases and my leg lengthened 2.5 cm by the resurfacing). It took a long time before I could walk with any sureness. If I looked up, I would keel right over backwards like those fainting goats and if anyone even touched me just to pick a piece of fuzz off my shirt, it would be enough to knock me off balance. I did a lot of work with a physical therapist to teach my brain where my legs were and how they were supposed to work (I've had an abnormal gait all my life, so this walking like a normal person is all new to me). I wonder if some kind of gait training might help? > > Cindy > C+ 5/25/01 and 6/28/01 > > _______________________________________________ > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
