I do have a balance problem but this time I didn't fall. We went on vacation to Mexico and my feet were killing me, I was walking funny trying stay off my heels and fractured two bones in the top of the foot. Walked on foot for 4 days. X-ray showed Plantar Faciitis, a bone spur and the two fractures. With the boot it is ok to hobble around on main floor but sewing room is in basement and we don't have a railing going down there. To be truthful the Plantar Faciitis hurts worse then the breaks. Going to see the foot specialist Tuesday.
