Walkin'...yes indeed...I'm walkin"


On Saturday, the physical therapist came to my house to begin my 3X a week therapy schedule. With the help of my walker, I put one foot in front of the other and brought the other foot forward to meet it. We call that, WALKING!!!! Wahoo! Yippee! I stepped my way from the living room to the dining room and back again. Sat down to rest, got up to do it again, and my recovering knee had already had enough!! So we stopped because I don't want to lose any ground. She returns today for the 2nd time and I am hoping for the best!!
Yesterday as I channel surfed by QVC, I happened upon an outdoor/patio presentation. I am now the proud owner of a bench that is easily transformed into a picnic table with attached benches. Perfect for my deck. I can use it as a bench until a situation calls for a picnic table...and Voila!! it's a picnic table!! Pretty clever. No storage required when it's not in use. I also managed to order a couple of shrubs. I cannot help it. They're unique!!

  • And in no time at all you'll be walking out to the patio to soak up some sunshine on your new bench... or enjoy a ham and cheese sandwich on your new table. Well... okay. Maybe not exactly no time at all. But, pretty soon anyway.

    Keep us posted on your progress.

  • Congratulations on walking, and the new bench/table. I've seen the design before; it's very clever.

    Move carefully but frequently--they say that's the way to get back to speed. Continued good luck.

  • I am so glad you are attempting to walk again. Is the new bench water proof? I would like to get one for my uncovered patio.

  • Congratulations on your bench and taking those first steps. I know you'll be up and around in due time just because I know how determined you are.
