More mobility freedom day!

Just got back from the podiatrist and the scooter is put away!  Yahooooo! I've walked with my boot on for 5 minutes and my skinny attrophied calf muscle is already sore along with the outside edge of my foot! What a wimp, ???!! Now for the process of building it up again.

Great!.....chase the wife around the house, you'll be fit in no time

Excellent news, Ron.    You'll get better faster than they think if you chase your wife AND have her help you set up a couple more tanks

We have a truce/grace period when someone is gimped up. Now there is no grace.  She'll be chasing me with the frying pan!!

Hmmm...That's an idea....getting her to help me set up tanks!  Hmmmmm...

thanks folks.!  Willie, that was the plan, to be ready for some summer trails with the camera in hand!

Good news Ron!  Your leg will get stronger faster than you think.  Bill sends greeting and get well fast wishes to you.  He is home 3 weeks, very slowly getting stronger.  But at least he can walk now.

A man with a plan 

After my Surgeries, I found that Trail walking and picture taking( somehow made walking , seem to have more of a PURPOSE other than just plain ole walking) the Trails out here at Starved Rock Park was, and still IS the BEST therapy.

  It not only helps build the muscles, but also causes a person to slow down some, and REALLY look and appreciate the MANY wonders that surround us that we more typically simply glance(d) at and move(d) on.

Heal Fast and strong........and take LOTS of pictures

Thanks Barb & Bill. Foot was sore last night.  I tried not to do too much yesterday afternoon and evening. Doc said it would let me know when to stop....and it did!
I'm happy that Bill is on the mend now! Tell him hi for me and to keep up the good recuperating work!

Thanks Ed...Last summer the walk on the Paradise Trail at the base of MT Rainier was a gorgeous time even though we just missed the prime of the wildflower blooms. And the other outstanding walk was through a virgin forest. Both were wonderful walks, but between my back and feet, I had to stop to relieve the pain often. I'm sure that my walking partners were annoyed somewhat. Now that one foot is done, and I'm bringing it back to life now, and I've been doing PT exercises for my back, maybe I'll only have to stop 1/3 of the times and relieve the pain in my right foot!  Does that math make any since at all...?

Oh, and by the way, I do always take LOTS of pictures. It's the only way I can get one or two good ones! I really suck at my photography.

That's good news. Glad that your getting up and around, also happy to hear Bill is getting better.

[Ron Sower]

The ol' foot is talking to me by the end of the day and when I first get up in the morning! Not used to working for me! 

Thanks Killer.
