Proud

Very proud and happy that I am now walking indoors with no walking stick, very proud

Big Steps

The song says "Getting better, a little better, every day" but today's process seemed like a big thing. I put my walking stick back on my 'chair because I can now walk everywhere in my flat with no help, no aids, nowt

Big Improvement In Walking

I was outside just now walking up and down without my 'stick and my right knee seems to be bending on every step now (or most of them), like it was supposed to and stopped years ago

Walkies

And I am walking without my 'stick sometimes today
Aargh, someone knocked on my door then, I got up and used my walking stick as far as the door because I forgot. Afterwards I walked back from the front door to the living room with no stick.
And I am now making my dinner without the aid of a 'stick. It is still on the settee opposite the kitchen door, I make the whole distance unaided
Now I am walking everywhere in my flat with no stick. I am walking everywhere with no stick. YES, I am getting better. It is difficult but easier than it was yesterday...

And when I got up early s'morning I walked with no walking stick to the loo. Perhaps it is a half dozen steps but progress

Early To Bed, Early To Rise....

So I went to bed last night at about 11.30 and pretty much went straight to sleep. So this morning I woke up at 5.30 (grumble)
