This time last year I walked with a walker, and made good and liberal use of my power chair. This year? I went kayaking.

While I was helping tote my kayak to the water, it occurred to me that this time last year I never would have been able to make it from the car to the shore unassisted on such uneven ground.

Now, don’t get me wrong. We had to stop and put the kayak down a couple of times along the way, and it occurred to me that at the end of the day it would probably be ten times harder for me to do the same thing, but I did it.

We paddled for a couple of hours, and I was totally spent by the time I got home. Between the LDN, and the exercise I can now get because of the LDN, the quality of my life has never been better.

Thank you, LDN, and thanks to all the folks here that helped guide me down this path.
