A couple of things about my walking.
Firstly, during my summer holidays I went, with family, up to the UK Lake District. We decided to do a bit of walking whilst we were there. I decided to use my AFO for these walks, and it worked really well. I was a bit worried that I'd be much slower than everyone else, and that my legs wouldn't be able to cope with it. But, actually, four year olds go quite slowly and so there was no problem at all. I really enjoyed it, and so did the family, and we made the decision to do more walking when back at home.
Secondly, it must be true that my gait is starting to be a bit different - a couple of people have asked me if I've got a limp/am 'hobbleing' - which I'm not really used to yet. One of my colleagues at work (who I've know for a long time, but don't see very often) said this about year ago, but in the last month there have been several people who have asked. I've got to work out what my 'standard' response is for this question.
I've an appointment with the HSP specialists in London this week, so that's something to talk about with them.
Finally, a quick note about my survey - I've had an excellent response so far with about 90 responses! I'd welcome any readers with HSP to complete this, if they have not done so already. You can find the link here: http://hspjourney.blogspot.co.uk/2016/09/autumnal-survey-2016.html
