Walking Unaided

For the past week or so, I have often walked about the apartment without the cane or the walker. My apartment is small enough that I am never more than a few inches away from a wall, a counter, or a piece of furniture on which to grab if need be.

Yesterday and especially today, however, I walked around outside without a cane, twice going to the end of the block and back. Sure, I'm limping, but at least I'm doing it.

I am so thankful for the progress I am making. My goal of walking normally for my UCLA transplant evaluation is certainly doable. I want to appear as strong, healthy, able-bodied, and vibrant as possible for that day of scrutiny.

About Me

Southern California, United States
Perhaps my friend Mark summed me up best when he called me "a mystical grammarian." I am quite a mix--otherworldly, ethereal and in touch with "the beyond," yet prone to being very precise and logical, when need be. Romantic in the big-canvas meaning of the word, I see the world as an adventure, as a love poem, as a realm of beauty and wonder.
