hope your working it out with your driving

cheers

I hope I don't sound too clueless but I'm interested in learning about what benefits you derive from the braces. Do they allow you to walk unaided? I use a walker since my legs are quite weak & I'm wondering if I would be a candidate for braces if they would permit me to move around without using a walker or wheelchair.
