What a spring and summer I’ve had! Everything came to a halt in May with
hip replacement surgery, rehab, and a desperate effort to avoid a knee
replacement. The walking progression has been from walker to four-prong
cane to normal-everyday cane, and an occasional short distance walk
without the cane, something I rue almost immediately, but keep working on to be independent again.
However, the distance to the studio, which is my measure of success,
is down from thirty-two steps to twenty-eight on a good day. Once
there, I can work a bit.
While not exactly back in the saddle, I am getting there. I’ve
examined my body to see how many more joint replacement possibilities
exist. Too many, by last count!
