great words for walking

[mdakota]

over my lifetime i've discovered there are awesome words for walking as a hip baby i've heard enough, of the why are you hopping, waddeling, nic names like hop along and penguine ( my personal favorite ) add to the list, to walk, to saunter, swagger, to glide these words are important because there why we do all the work. so add lots

 

[Jamie]

Dakota....I do love your attitude! What a sunny person you are and I just KNOW you are going to really enjoy those new hips.

Adding....tiptoe, skip, prance, and lunge....alll things you no doubt will be doing soon!

Tilted -I walk tilted!

 

[Judles]

Oh you do NOT!!! I doubt it.,M!!!

 

[Jamie]

No, Melissa.....you seem like a "glider" to me. No tilted....

 

[YoungM]

Thanks Judles and Jaime. Now, my pelvis is very slanted. I am walking straight with the cane, but without the cane, my body is still shifting. I can't wait to go to the doctor on Monday and start going to outpatient PT.

 

[PRGal]

Strut! And you can do it with or without a cane!

 

[YoungM]

That's a good one PR!

Yes, we have weebles, I know exactly what you are talking about! Hadn't heard of them in years, though!

I like it when I "sprint" up my driveway--not really running, just proving that I can -- and the biggest morale builder was last weekend when I was walking with my daughter and she said I no longer limped. Talk about jumping for joy!!!

[Judles]

That's great news, Laurie! Just be easy on that sprinting!

 

[hurtingbuthopeful]

Great thread!

Tom I am with you... Sauntering and strolling - can't wait to do them. I walk a little like Frankenstein. I keep forgetting there is nothing wrong with my knee! So my mind is constantly thinking heel, toe, heel toe, bend knee, dope-e. It's no wonder I don't run into things!

 

[Judles]

That'll be the'"KLUTZ " thread!!!

 

[Texas]

Hurt- thats funny that made me laugh out loud, my husband just looked at me!!!!

 

[Judles]

And?????

 

[mdakota]

to think about prancing, wow. to feel so light on my feet that i float. to get rid of words like wobble, hobble. to be in a place where the only type of Gait thats spoken of is a Gate of metal attached to a fence.
and yet their are adventerous words too.
hike, march, sneek, creep
or whimsicle words like meander.
