    I also use a shopping cart to lean on - or at least did when my back was killing me.  Hubby and I went to Costco and he grabbed the cart. He looked over at me and said, "You want it, don't you?" and I went "OH YEAH!!!!"  Now I can walk OK again - and am back on my treadmill in the mornings.  Hope it can stay this way for awhile.  I could do without the headaches, but if it's one or the other, for now at least, I'd rather have the headaches.

    I know what you mean proudtospin. My walking abilities vary from day to day. I feel like I hold my husband back at times and he is 12 years older than me! Hope you enjoy the museums. That sounds like a lot of fun!!

    Ducky, what a great idea!! :) I'll keep my eyes open for the new threads!!

    well it sounds like I have lots of company with the dumb feet thing, I hold onto the shopping carts as well and hate going into stores that I do not know where to find stuff!
     I have been doing stuff to help my balance, jury is out if it is improving although doing walking in the pool and that seems to help without putting me in pain!

    to pain free feet

    Never had the "feet" problem........that happened several months ago.........the goofy gait was always a small problem from BP meds which I am on   because of a HA back in 2007......no major damage, but the meds are a "just in case"...............the when I went on Letrozole all hell broke loose...............achy bones, joints, fingers, legs, hips, hair thinning, problems in the sun, not to mention dry skin, and wrinkles.............cancer...the gift that keeps on giving........oh and lets not forget Lymphedema........the "mother' of all ailments.

    Oh Ducky, I just saw the part about being pulled over by a cop -
    that's too funny!! Just make sure you're not driving around with one of
    those red solo cups that Kracker has told us about. They would take you
    away for sure!

    GG, I hate to admit it, but occasionally when I'm doing really bad, I actually let my daughter push me around in a wheel chair when she wants to go shopping. I just can't keep up when I'm having a bad flare, and I hate to miss out on getting to go.

    I had joined bc.org when first diagnosed but quit it since I clearly had not found this thread before deciding!  Here is my solution for stupid (after all, we know it cannot be repaired unfortunately)

    1.  Practice your poker face since your eyes WANT to roll back into your head and you WANT to slap them.

    2.  Save for future joke material when you need a good laugh.  "Geesh, if I had only dipped in the river Nile 7 times I wouldn't be getting this mastectomy"

    3.  In your mind, dish it right back to them.  Of course you must first find a flaw with them (which is very difficult because well meaning soothsayers are usually perfect, don't you know)

    For example.... "You don't say?  Eating bat turd cures cancer?  I have heard that taping your mouth shut helps stupid" 

    4.  Remain humbled in knowing no doubt we have all said something stupid sometime in our lives and we hope to God it wasn't that stupid.....

    Thank you for this thread, for it appears that some of us may have lost some breast tissue but not our senses of humor, thankfully.

    Enjoy..........love it............right on point..........LOL.........x

    I think the best part of stupid i got was "Wow,, at least you got the "good cancer".............
