I have graduated from the walker to a cane. Watching a YouTube vid taught me how to use the bastón. It’s all about triangles, which is the most stable configuration. The weak leg and the cane move together with the cane on the opposite side. To climb stairs, remember, “good up, bad down”. Move the strong leg first when stepping up. Lead with the weak leg and the cane to step down.
Now you know all you need to and I hope you never need to.
Actually I hobbled up the stairs this week and drove myself into town. Free at last thank God I’m free at last. Of course it didn’t take much and by Saturday I was back on complete rest. Why quit when you can overdo it.
It’s lovely to be getting stronger. I’ve lost so much muscle in the last five months. At least the light at the end of the tunnel is a bit more than a flicker.
I have much to be grateful for. Hats off to my wife who has lovingly put up with me and become quite the home chef in the process. And thanks to you all who have been my cheerleaders. It has made all the difference.
