DOWNGRADED TO A CANE

Today at PT I got some good news. I can get off the crutch and use a cane. This is progress! I still have to use the crutch in crowds to make sure I don't get stepped on or knocked over.  I don't have a cane so I emailed my neighbors to ask them if any of them have one laying around.  No sense buying one to use for a few weeks if one of my neighbors has one in

My PT got more aggressive today. My foot is bothering me a bit.

I rode the stationary bike for one hour at level three today. 9.6 miles.

Until tomorrow...

  1. That's great news, Adrienne! But take some care regarding the cane--it must "fit" you. If it's too short or too long, you'll be unstable with it, and it may cause you even more trouble with your foot and other joints. Check this out:

    Have a great day!

    1. Thanks Wren. I used the website to check my borrowed cane. The cane is a perfect fit. You are a great friend looking out for me!
