Hi everyone! My first trip was successful. My brother drove my van with me to
Southern California, the trip took two days. While I was there I was able to
go to dynamics . They specialize in making walking braces. They say clients
that are C7 and lower benefit the most from them. If I go for six weeks in
October, they will be able to send me home with them. Because I am a C4/5 they
will really only be good for exercising. Once I'm in it, I will be able to
walk with a walker about 25 yards. Has anyone heard of Heidi Von Belts? I was
able to talk with her when I was out there and she says go for the braces!
They say Medicare will pay for them. I'll let you know if I go for it. I had
a relative drive my van home, and I flew back. My sister was with me and I
don't know what I would have done without her! My flight from Denver to Cody,
Wyoming was canceled and I had a hard time getting home the same day. I never
could have dealt with it alone. It sure would be
easier to travel without my van but I couldn't find one to rent for less than
$100 a day! That's enough for now.
