Getting Closer Mood
Saturday, June 14, 2008 | A General Update story
The 4th in the series of tune-up helped my walking considerably.   My doctor thinks the problems with my left foot turning in so severely is Dystonia.  He asked if I have ever used corrective shoes. Not for me. I wear hikers for long walks (the mall, errands...) regular walking shoes for the house and a middle support for yard work.

In July I will be getting Botox to loosen the muscle that is causing the dystonia.
