No AFO!

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Walking without my ankle foot orthotic brace for the first time

Just a few months ago, I walked for the first time WITHOUT MY AFO!

Since then, I’ve increased the number of steps to 60,or 30 forward and 30 back.

My ability to balance has gotten better, too, with daily practice. I’m doing ballet barre exercises in order to strengthen my partially paralyzed leg, and they’re strengthening my bad ankle and foot as well.

All in all, it’s been a physically positive year starting with the resolution to get healthy and ending without my AFO brace walking 60 steps. I’m looking forward to seeing more improvements next year.

  2. I admire your perseverance, which appears to be working. Practice and a positive attitude, both of which you obviously have and things will only get better. Well done.
