Guest guest Posted October 20, 1999 Report Share Posted October 20, 1999 OK I had an operation on my spine in March and the results being I now must wear a full leg brace to walk. I am worried about my ability to walk on snowy icy sidewalks and streets. In the past few years when I was walking with just the cane it didn't take much to knock me down, although when I wear the brace that leg seems to be steadier, it still has a tendency to buckle on me. If any leg brace users out there have any special secrets for getting around please fill me in. JEFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 1999 Report Share Posted October 21, 1999 Jeff. Get those little rubber /metal spikey things you put on shoes. Also get a four prong cane for winter. Looks stupid as heck, but better to look like an ass than to be on it. Too, take your time. Go slow as an old man in a buick on a sunday drive. -speedy who prefers to be in a chair on ice, but it loses traction fast __________________________________________ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Get your FREE Internet Access and Email at http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
