Vicc,

I hope it works also. With the trial I had 100% relief. I even put shoes and socks on and went to a Home and Garden Show. I walked about 3 hrs. A couple of times my feet started feeling sore so I just changed programs to allow another one to set in. Ok.. walking for 3 hrs, when I have been in bed or using a wheelchair/walker, wasn't really smart, but I figured the only way to know how it would work is to put it to the test. I've heard the sometimes the perm. isn't as great as the trial. I hope it's not the case with me. My doc even said that in about a year, that he didn't see why i couldn't go back to riding my horses. He said jumping isn't a great idea, but as I gave up jumping the last time I jumped and my horse didn't. lol. I'm getting too old for it anyway. I love classical Dressage. That is the riding that is done in the shows for the White Stallions.

I guess I haven't let myself think about riding a horse for years. We never owned one, but I rode several when I was a kid in Colorado, and I've ridden some stable horses as an adult (and never met one I liked).

I remember a gentle mare that panicked and sent me over her shoulders into a fence line, and a mean stallion we weren't supposed to go near. We not only went near, we saddled and rode him, and that was the scariest ride in my life. I have no idea how we got him back in the corrall, but I never went near him again.

I think it would be fun to be able to ride just one more time, on a very gentle mare. I don't know anything about Classical Dressage, but I hope you are able to do it again...Vic
