Walking Practice

Bo talked me into a walker rather than crutches after my surgery.  He also strongly advised that I practice with it before I had to use it under duress.  With the tendonitis in the "good" knee Dr. Gorgeous said to rest it and not walk on it.  It is really painful, like a 12 out of  that stupid cute smiley face 10 scale, so I decided that would be good practice.

It must really hurt for me to do this, you know.  I so detest it.  When Frank was still not home on Friday I decided to use it in the privacy of myself and the dogs.  The dogs thought it was some hysterical fun joke.

After we got through that I got off the oriental rug and on to the tiles and went sailing.  If nothing else I will have great biceps when all this is over.  Upper body strength is not so greatly overrated. 

It does take some practice.  By that night I was doing better.  On Saturday I perfected my moves, but Carrie came to change before going out and made some remarks about old people and walkers.  Gee I felt better after that.

Andrew came just before dinner and put the final nail in the proverbial coffin....he told me how I really didn't look old enough to be in a walker!  I guess that wasn't too bad, but he laughed.  He laughed!

No.....I won't do a picture for you....even though I like photos of other people in their moment of shame

Happy birthday Carrie!!!!!!  Today is # 29 for her. 

Oh, and if you didn't see the Quilt History website post, definitely go back and check it out.
