It’s been eight weeks since I broke my hip, and the physical therapist says I should no longer need the walker. I am being careful, and the doctor says fractures are funny, he will take another x-ray October 17 to make sure nothing has gone wrong. We will have to see, but it’s nice to walk without help. 🙂

Congrats!
Yah! I’d take it slowly and carefully, for sure, but that is good news. 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
So happy for you, 8 weeks went by really fast, but for me not you. I am sure being away from your home made those weeks drag. you sure healed great in that amount of time.. Yay for walking without the walker
Actually they didn’t drag. I had things to play with. It was probably good for me.
they say time is a great healer – but of course you have to remember that magical word “time” and take you time…
all care
Fingers crossed that it works. But even if it doesn’t it was a good thing to try.
That’s awesome. You’ve done so well in your recovery.
Thanks. 🙂
…take it slow and easy.
Yes. 🙂
To us the recovery seems quick, but I bet it felt longer to you. I am so glad you did not have to have surgery.
I may eventually, but this was a good thing to try.
Congratulations! Jus’ don’t go break dancing to the music. (Pun intended!)
😀
Good for you, but please continue to be careful.
Yes!
So you have enough coordination now to walk unassisted? This is wonderful!!!! I somehow missed your previous post, so I just finished reading it. I love seeing your apartment! I have never seen one with a dining room! And also I am impressed with your matching piano and cabinets! You play piano?
I don’t walk normally, but mostly walk unassisted. I learned to play the piano when Kaitlin was 8 and started lessons. I really enjoyed it.
Do you have a cane? It can help stabilize if you need it. This is very good news.
I have hiking sticks if I need them. Around the apartment I just walk carefully.
Good news, so happy for you! Keep that walker around, though. Great to use when the sidewalks are less than ideal weather or maintenance wise.
That’s a good idea. 🙂
Slow and easy. And anytime you aren’t sure you are ready, you always have that walker at the ready. Take care.
Thanks. 🙂
As everyone says: “slow and easy”. Be careful, extra careful. And keep the walker close in the event you need it. Still, good news from the medicos.
Thanks. 🙂 I am being very careful.
Having been on both sides of disability I hear you loud and clear in what we take for granted and how joyful it is to be mobile again, even if limited.
May your journey continue positively!
