Update

Doing some walking with a cane. I walk like a penguin. I do some walking over the course of a day then my knees and hips rebel and I have to knock it off for a day, or two, or sometimes three. I cannot do long distances but I can notice improvement. I have used crutches once in the last week as I did not trust the surface of a sidewalk enough to use a cane.

There are times when I am taking steps and it feels like one of my femurs is going to break. I know that will not happen as the bones are solid and there is a lot of metal holding them together. It is odd how you second guess yourself. I can feel a few new minor things. When I got up from a seated position I used to have to stand in place for a bit before I felt I was on solid enough footing to take a step. Now I can go from sitting to standing and waiting less to move. Jogging will have to wait until 2027.

Have not been posting much lately . . .

Trying walking unassisted has proven to be a little difficult. I have been concentrating on putting the crutches aside and using a cane. That has been not too bad. The effort over the day has been very tiring and sometimes painful. I have been snatching at every little bit of progress and trying to build on that. If anyone has been wondering where I have been this is what I have been doing.
