Thanks, Barbara, for sending this info, especially on the shoes! I think I might have seen the ones Pete is talking about. We'll have to check them out and let everyone else know if they work. Speaking of shoes, you can't imagine how many I've tried and just can't use. It makes my sister so very happy when this happens! j -------Original Message------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 5/3/2008 4:23:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TMIC] Steriods AGAIN! ADD: WalkAid results Hello Jean, I have to make a conscious effort every time I take a step with my right foot to do the heel-toe thing. If not, I stub my toe and often trip myself. My foot drop isn't nearly as severe as a lot of folks, but still causes a problem for me. When walking barefoot, I find myself rubbing the skin on the tips of my middle toes also as they curl downward and have formed a callous on them. I have been told that some need surgery to correct the curling of the toes. Yikes, I don't want that but sooner or later it will probably be a problem being able to wear certain shoes. Thanks so much for doing the "research" on the Walkaid for us. That cattleprod idea is something my husband Pete would have thought of as well. Jack sounds like he'd be a fun person to be around. Pete also told me that Sketchers has a pair of shoes that when you step on the heel air shoots to the toe. He thinks this could possibly be an aid in letting you know if you are stepping correctly, meaning that if you don't feel the air, you didn't do the heel-toe thing, you did the toe-heel. Just and idea. We've also paid out-of-pocket many expenses, including a bucketfull on Chiropractic expenses. I do believe that without it though, I would not be in the condition that I am in. Take care, and keep walking. Hugs, Barbara A
