I gave my Dad a big surprise this morning.
I decided that I felt good enough in my wheelchair to almost walk what we used to walk for our daily morning walks before my amputation. This was the longest I have walked thus far after my amp and it sure felt good to stretch the ole legs. When I looked down the sidewalk my Dad asked if I felt like walking that far and I gave him the look of confidence so away we went.
This walk was about 3/4 of a mile long through the neighborhood and the weather was nice with low temps to make it much easier to walk. As we continued to walk Dad kept asking and watching me to see if we needed to turn around but I just kept going,
I love my wheelchair !!
As we kept walking several folks in the neighborhood came out to see me since they had not seen me in 4 months and were concerned. They were sooooo happy to see me out in the hood again and it made me happy too. I know Dad was happy cause I could see tears of happiness streaming down his cheeks, I know he was happy since he kept giving me hugs and words of encouragement all along the way.
I will get my stretches tonight and a great massage to help me keep this up so I look forward to time with Dad for my stretches.
Lovin Life !!!
