Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 I fought AFO's with all my gumption, it was the only way to go (last resort). I wish maybe I had not waited as long as I did , I wasn't fully aware of the deterioration of my quality of life-+ I had gone so long past where I should have (to stop deformity) undiagnosed. AFO's were something I hated but also gave me so many things, a new life. I had to overcome the my stigma of them! They stink and I love them! If I could just fix my back now!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 yeap, they used to be hard metal attached to special shoes at the heel, you had no choice but where them or wear slippers or go bare footed. Daddy had cords attached to the toe of his shoes to the top of the brace to keep his toes from folding under him. --- Rocky <woodchuck1964@...> wrote: > Ankle, foot, orthotic. > Rocky > Ps-a plastic like brace running from sole of foot to > a few inches below the knee > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: serene > Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 1:41 PM > > Subject: Re: [] To Susie > > excuse my ignorance, but what is an AFO? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: " Rocky " <woodchuck1964@...> > < > > Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 3:25 AM > Subject: Re: [] To Susie > > > > I fought AFO's with all my gumption, it was the > only way to go (last > resort). > > I wish maybe I had not waited as long as I did , I > wasn't fully aware of > the deterioration of my quality of life-+ I had gone > so long past where I > should have (to stop deformity) undiagnosed. > > AFO's were something I hated but also gave me so > many things, a new life. > > I had to overcome the my stigma of them! > > They stink and I love them! > > If I could just fix my back now!!!!!! > > Rocky > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Gretchen Glick > > Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 10:02 PM > > > > Subject: [] To Susie > > > > Really we are about sharing our CMT experience > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
