Getting one foot in front of the other is hard for this very
sleepy person. I got out there and
walked totally half way around the block from garage to front door for the very
first time yesterday. A great
triumph. I couldn’t have done it without
the walker-with-a-seat…burgundy in color, that is a most useful tool. After going up one gentle slope and one
genuine hill. I sat. Then when I had caught my breath, I headed up
and down to my front door. It’s amazing
how out of shape one can get in two months of doing nothing.
Today, I’m going to try to go garage to garage. Sometimes life’s triumphs are taken one step
at a time.
Life is Really in the

That's great Mage.
ReplyDeleteVery few people in Minehead walk without some sort of aid.
It doesn't matter what color it is, it is still cauliflower! Only one step above brussel sprouts.

Bravo for persevering! As my mother and MIL aged, I observed the difference in elders who refused to use those "tools" because they did not want to look old.
ReplyDeleteThose who used tools, though, kept active longer and with less risk to themselves and those they depended on for mobility.

Great progress Mage.
glad to read you are making progress. Currently my mind is mush and I don't seem to care....LOL
ReplyDeleteOh NO a broken toe? How did you manage that? And where is the photo of the colorful walker.
ReplyDeleteI gave blood to the hospital today. No, not a pint, the usual for a CBC. Ate hospital food too. Cod = good; Onion rings = not so good. Silly me.

You're my hero! I wish my sister would have had the determination that you do - she might not be in a wheelchair today. Keep up the good work. Are you sleepy because of not being able to sleep?
ReplyDeleteOK you can start pushing a little more. You are really moving forward here. So proud of you!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a cauliflower like that. It's really rather pretty.
ReplyDeleteGood for you with your walking, Mage!
