Great day. Had my 6 week check up today. Doc showed me the new me on x-rays. Everything looked perfect. He said I can get rid of the walker and use a cane. Wow, really exciting. Drove home, found my great grandmothers old cane and realized I didn't know what to do. So, we Goggled; "How to walk with a cane". Next hurdle put those theories into practical application.
Drive to local drug store looking for those rubber tips for canes. Didn't have any small enough so had to buy an adjustable cane; (felt more comfortable with the size) 30 degree bend in the arm and all that.
Wow. Sure didn't go as smooth as I envisioned it. Anyone have any tips on learning how to walk again? I will try small steps and one foot in front of the other. I had to cut the grass today for therapy. Fortunately it rained so I can finish it tomorrow. I'll get out there tomorrow. (Stanj you are my role model, tap dancing in the recovery room).
