So far

Update posted by Heather Brown

I have bought a "EVENUP" shoe attachment. It has 2 different heights. There's the base and an attachable 1/4" platform like thing that velcro's down to the base. I tried using it right out of the package. Just the bottom part, so I was up about 1/2". It felt strange like my center of gravity had changed. I was a little off balance. I powered through, but there was pain due to not having walked that way for awhile. I did need my cane of course, but I don't need a taller cane yet. Once it gets up to around 1 1/2" I will need to change canes. I am looking at insoles. I have bought one pair of full insoles and some that are just for the heel area. I'm still looking for the right shoes to have built up.

The transition between walking the way I do and walking with built up soles is a painful process, so I have lots of "Aspercreme with Lidocaine", but I've run out of bubble bath and bath salts for soaking tired muscles. I keep running out of "Canablast", which is stressful to run out of, but it helps so much with the pain and anxiety. Also, I think it would easier to adjust to walking more evenly if I had someplace to go to exercise and get these muscles built back up. ATM I'm kinda stuck at home so it's a bit harder to JUST walk around and work out the muscles, instead of sitting back down. I'm working on that though.

Just an FYI that I'm not waiting for someone to swoop in and take care of everything, BUT I'd love some help, so donate to my gogetfunding please.
