Re: [Peripheral_Neuropathy] New Member

~~~~~~~~~~
Michael, the physical therapist took my cane away and put me on crutches.
~~~~~~~~
No way could I use crutches my hands wrists and lower arms are horrible. I
have had neuropathy in them longer than anywhere in my body.
Both ulna nerves are near shot and the radial nerve in my left hands and
lower arm shot. I couldn't even use a wheel chair for my hands. Doc says
next step is one of those Hovaround type chairs. Even then the carts at
stores hurt my hands after about 15 minutes of use :(
I got 4 dogs..Chihuahuas who I ADORE so I know about dogs and how they make
it just a bit easier :) Mine are well trained all I need do is open my back
door they run out to their pen , take care of business then wait at the door
to be let back in. They make it easy to have them around.
Micheal
