Practising

Today I tried to walk up the two steps into our house. 

Normally that is not a problem. 

Today I tried without bending my knees.  As though I had just had knee replacement surgery.

I used my arms to grab the door frame.  Still put extra weight on my knees.  Will that hurt?  I guess a few weeks from now I’ll know.

Walking the floor will be a bit of a problem, since both knees will have been worked on.  I’ll need to learn to walk with a walker.  A number of people have remarked how embarassed they would be to have a walker.  Not me!  I’m kind of looking forward to it.  Maybe I’ll even learn to dance with it (I’ve never been able to dance before — this could be a miracle).

All in all, practice is fun.  The real thing may be a bit more gritty. 

We’ll see!!
