First you cry. From Canadian Crurches to a walker to the chair - no time off for good behavior I was watching too much TV, not getting to the toilet on time. I was so s.l.o.w. Me and the floor were buds, luckily I'd never gotten hurt. When it was time, I did it. Now I zoom, go places I hadn't for years. Yes, it sucks, impedes me in many ways but life did anyway. I don't need a nap anymore, I can still self-toilet (grab bars) and that's better. I'm on the deck, DH built me a patio with a long walkway. Can't be seen from the house on it, on the edge of woods. My dog delights in going therre, she runs ahead.

Of course I'd rather be walking, but no one is offering that choice. I do like not falling.
