… and then I met a man who could not walk. So I took his shoes. <rimshot> Anyway, this blog is worth something right now, if only to me. I went to the boy’s soccer practice tonight. This involves a fair amount of walking. Walking is a slow, limpy process right now. I had forgotten, […]

Walking – I just did something very strange. I walked down my hall and back, and did a few other exercises while standing up with a walker. My physical therapist was working with me, and we have once again noted my right leg’s rather irksome tendency to wave around like a flag in a light
One thing that may have helped is I have started getting out more. We can load up the wheelchair and get in the car and go exciting places. Like to pizza buffets with the kids. Or work. Either way, it’s broken the spell a bit, and whereas this morning I was watching The Price is

Not much new to report on the health front. I’m still home; I have a doctor’s appointment soon to see if I can start bearing weight again. If I can, then I begin on the long rehab home to walking again and being normal as close to normal as I ever am. And because I
