1. Update regarding my surgeries. I am now the master of my crutches. Unless I lose my balance then I go into my ninja turtle mode. As I lay on my back I start wiggling around so I’m able to get to the end of the bed with one of my crutches. I’m now able with the help of this beloved crutch to push myself over so that now I’m face down on my rug, (I think it needs a cleaning I’m coved with dog hair) I then grab my good leg and pull up my foot and use both arms to do a pushup and my good leg. I’m now almost up, I start to ascend to a standing position (Circus So La). I grab my other crutch; I now have two of these wonder modes of transportation. I start hopping to my walker. This is a better mode of transportation since it’s a one piece structure with wheels on the front and a rail on three sides. As I release my crutches and grab the walker. I’m only 4 or 5 steps from the bathroom (my original destination) I move the walker ahead of me and hop and push, hop and push. I’m off the carpet on to the smooth floor of linoleum. My wheels are working wonderfully but I forget to hop with it so it’s now more than an arm’s length away. I can feel my life slowing down while my walker is in fast forward. I go down again but now I’m only a short distant from my goal. I crawl up on the potty. A feeling of success that has come from achieving a goal filled my heart and soul. Job done. Now how do I get back? I have to call Ed on the cell phone and explain my accomplishment but needing some intervention. Ed is my hero, I make it back to the bedroom and thank him for the help and suggest cleaning the carpet. He is watching football but he said I should call my sister Debbie Sue. Well I hope you all roll smoothly this weekend, I’ll be thinking of my family and friends stay in touch. Thanks for the prayers.
