Thanks, Lisa. I am glad my ramblings can help someone. I know that without this site I would lose it sometimes, like today. I seem to be going backward the past couple of days but am still plugging along, despite the pain and stiffness. I so want to walk without this dumb walker and not fall over. I am glad you posted. I haven't checked my diary lately and you have now brought sunshine into my life. Thanks so much. Hope you are doing well with your recovery!
