  • I just joined

    I just joined and am 66yrs old. I wear a built up shoe , use a walker that has a seat and I do take physical therapy. I could not get around if i did not take it. My husband is retired and he helps me a lot. I was born with a short right leg and have always limped. never paid attention to it till I got in my 60's then went down hill big time. I was on a cane then went to a walker that has a seat and I do love it. I even sit there and wash dishes.
    My husband is a great help to me, he is retired. will tell more later.
    thanks for reading my post

      I try to keep a good attitude

      Thanks for your compliment. Yes my husband is great he helps a lot.
      I don't think there is any other way we can all be with scoliosis but try to keep a good attitude. I try to keep up with my physical therapy sometimes it is hard though. I think the older you get with this it tires you out to do physical therapy. I sometimes get upset with my walker, but I cannot walk without it, so I guess we are stuck with each other. thanks
