Progress


Me playing coy when Mark held his phone up and said 'smile'. I created a monster when I showed him how to use it. I had PT yesterday. We discussed my progress and where we go from here. I told her I felt I'd come a long way, that I knew I'm never going to be completely erect ever again, but it's better and I am able to walk more. She seemed satisfied with this. We decided I'd come back in a month to check if I'm progressing or at least holding steady. I am coming to the end of a nearly year long journey with her. She is the only person who took the time to know the issue and do something about it.


The PT did suggest walking sticks, she gave me a pair to try. Wow, where have they been all my life! I came home and ordered a set. They are so much better than a cane and with them I have two weapons to wave in the air. It's a win-win.

The heat and humidity is supposed to lessen on Saturday. Saturday cannot come soon enough for me. Just making this simple pasta dish had me soaked with sweat. I think cooking may be off the menu until Saturday. Whatever is done will be done in the airfryer.  


Okay, time for some toast and another cuppa joe.

I'm glad you found this PT. She's made such a difference in your life. Are the sticks the kind hikers use? They're supposed to be great for posture and secure walking too.

Yes, they are, except they have rubber tipped ends instead of the medal spike, Boud. They helped me walk so much better. Yes, she is a thoughtful person and very good at her job

I too love my walking sticks, would not have been able to complete the very difficult hill climb in the Mission Inn 5k two years ago.
