I would like to report that I am getting closer and closer to a "normal walk" after my foray into the world of exemestane, closely followed by a stress fracture in my left foot, which led to the purchase of the walking clogs 3 days out of a boot! (How is that for a clause laden sentence!)

Still have a bit of the rolling walk when tired, but getting there! 50 lbs lighter would probably clear up my walk completely!
