Thank you all for giving me hope that I can find shoes, because I may need them sooner than later. I am now worried that WC may not re-up my Aqua therapy after my recent eval, a change which I know will stall my progress. I tried walking outside today, supported by two canes, so that I could last longer, but the pain impeded me. I have next to no pain in the warm water, so it was quite shocking and upsetting to experience pain exercising.

My plan is to get trekking poles, so that I can move at a faster pace and normalize my gait. I will let you know if I am successful at finding shoes and getting decent poles.

Also, if anyone here uses a balance bike I would love to know about it.
