AFO, not UFO :0)

So the neurology appointment went better than expected, still hate going to the doctors.  All the same neuro exams.  Still can't walk on my tip toes, heels or tandem without losing balance.  Guess I better not ever get pulled over by the police, would fail that exam even though I am not a drinker :0)
So it seems I am going to get an AFO or something like that. It's a little splint like device for my left foot.  I have foot drop and apparently it's never going to go away.  This AFO will support my foot up so I don't trip on it.  What fun, (sarcasm).  I already look pretty stylish with my cane, but now with this beautiful contraption I will be such a fashionista.
I am hoping not to be using my cane for much longer.  I don't need it in the house, but when I go out I still lose my balance.  It's weird.  Or  maybe I'm weird.  Probably the later, but that's okay, I've come to terms with it.
