WALKING TO NEW ORLEANS

walking to new Orleans was a hit song for fats domino, hitting number 6 on the billboard charts in June, 1960.  a personal favorite of mine.  i am borrowing this title because that is how i am feeling today.

i wrote just yesterday that my therapist had said i would soon be graduating to a normal walker.  i didn't know he meant today.  we tried it, and i graduated.

my first attempt i walked 20 feet.  that ended when i tried to fall.  lupita videoed it, catching the last part, including me falling.  hopefully she will share that with all of us.  my therapist didn't allow me to actually fall - as you probably surmised already since you are reading this.

my next attempt i walked 45 feet. that ended when i got tired and set back in my wheel chair.  lupita didn't video that one.

i did very good on my sit to stands too.

next i may be sending a post card from new Orleans.

I'm through writing now...
