I've been in a wheelchair for a month and a half, unable to walk at all for a few weeks before that. Our apartment is not built for wheelchairs and some rooms I could not enter at all because my wheelchair is wider than the doorway. And tight spaces.

A couple of weeks ago, I got a walker siince my right knee had improved enough I could put *some* weight on it (my left knee was never as bad). This made getting around in the bathroom much easier, but still, nothing above a few steps.

My right knee has been improving, but slowly. Very very slowly.

Today, I took my walker from bed to bathroom and back. Yay! It went well enough that...

I went inside the kitchen for the first time in two months today. I took my walker from the bed to the kitchen and back. It actually went well!

Now I have to be careful to not get too excited and overdo things.

@Laurie Great to hear this, Laurie.

I too have a wheelchair, which I try not to use, and an electric wheelchair for walkies with Susie Lurcher. Around the house I have two wheeled strollers (one for upstairs, one for down) and a third in the car.

I do not consider myself as disabled, simply rather determined (bloody-minded, obstinate) that my will not stop me!

👏👏👏

Kind regards

Robert WT
