Tomorrow, Mike gets fitted for his leg braces. When they showed me the apparatus my husband will be wearing for the rest of his life, I was reminded of the scene in Forrest Gump where he is running from the bullies and sheds his braces and never looks back. Sadly, Mike will never be able to not wear these braces if he wants to walk again without the aid of a walker, cane or a wheelchair.

purrs….. my best friend’s husband has to wear braces to walk due to his MS. It took him some time to come to terms with them, but he discovered it is better to wear them and keep some mobility than not and have very little. It will be hard, but worth it.
