Should have paid more heed to Max's words. I am still able to take some steps, and so I "furniture walk" around our home, even though I have a walker, a cane and a wheel chair. But like most of us at this stage, my legs are weak and my balance poor. Overly confident, I walked without support from the bedroom to the couch, as I always do. My legs gave way and I fell and broke my foot. I know this can be bad for the progression of ALS. I share it as a warning to others to be extra careful when you're at this stage. It's not pleasant to needlessly break a bone. Use the mobility supports!
