That's a good idea, Kathy. I should also keep a 3rd pair in the car, as there's nothing worse than going somewhere only to find you've left your crutches at home

Oh, and I thought I'd add that you guys might like to check out a piece my eldest daughter wrote for a writing competition, about me being her hero. (I'm very flattered she thinks that, but personally I reckon my husband is the hero in our family, as he's given up his career, his dreams and ambitions to look after me and the kids full time).

Her piece of writing is on my blog (the link is in my signature below). Once you're on my blog, click on the "CRPS/RSD Info" link above the title picture and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Bailey's got a very mature view on my RSD and she makes me so proud, I only hope she keeps thinking this way as she gets older, and my other three kids also do the same.
