Monday marked the four-month anniversary of the fall on our (new) back patio.
Tuesday was the anniversary of the surgery that implanted a titanium rod from her hip to her knee of her right leg.
It's been a long haul but today I can report that she went to a doctor appointment, then we went to lunch and then to a lengthy grocery shopping excursion.
Judy/SWMBO left her walker at home for the first time and used only a cane and occasionally my arm to ambulate.
She did use an electric cart in the grocery store but that has predated her fall and even I have occasionally used one.
These old bodies sometimes aren't made for walking.
Then I told Judy about a young mother I had seen in the grocery store.
She was slim and lithe and at one point noticed the laces on her high-top sneaker were loose.
She didn't bend over . . she raised that leg and calmly tied the laces while standing like a flamingo and carrying on a conversation with a store employee.
