Bob - Those of us who did not become paralyzed understand that things
could definitely be worse, and we face some different issues than you
do. I know it must drive you a little nuts when we get going on things
like finding shoes. Please bear with us, this condition is so rare, and
"normal" people are fairly clueless about what is happening to us. To a
casual acquaintance I look like I'm fine, just kind of clumsy and slow
moving. It has helped alot reading the email from others with similar
problems.
