Frustrated.....

Gayle- I saw the DR at six weeks and then he started me on PT. It seems to help some. It has only been 1 1/2 weeks since I started though. You are lucky to have such a nice employer. I wish mine would let me start back part-time for awhile before going back to 12 hour days.

I wish I could describe the walk. Maybe kind of stiff with the top portion slightly bending over and swaying side to side?

ERP.
That's pretty graphic.
If accurate, it sounds more Neanderthal than robotic to me. Is this what the rest of you young ladies are referring to?

This is why it's good to be specific (hard as it is with something. so subjective - here literally, a "moving target"). Anecdotal data is already very limited without leaving things so generalized, that it leads to inaccurate conclusions/comparisons (as it may here).

It SOUNDS like there may be less shared in this robo walk, than it seemed at first. Maybe the common thread here is gait "stiffness" - something that may result from either discomfort or fear of self injury.

But maybe if looked at, everyone is actually walking very differently. Ideally, we could see a short video clip of everyone's gait. Haha! Don't worry, I don't dream of such a thing - I who don't yet know how to upload stills myself! (All my facebook pics come from other people's postings!)

OTOH it's worth considering that perhaps this clever turn of phrase describes a common feeling rather than a common reality.
