LOL!! I totally understand that! I stopped wearing shoes with heels because my balance is so bad.  |
Hopefully this doctor listens and if they don't, I would relentlessly seek out more opinions until you find someone who does. It's annoying that you have to be so aggressive about it, but you're your best advocate. That's crazy your mom has lost 8 inches!
Ok, I'll stop with my annoying posts, lol.
