hey sweetie .. I know what you mean ... and there are times that I can take off and do my thing without a cane ... BUT, I found out the hard way that I can't do ALL the running anymore ... after 2 stores (maybe an hour or so) .. I'm pooped - and need to rest ...

I keep a cane in my car - walking around the apartment (it's small) is okay - and I can sit and rest (okay, chat with you and my online friends) .. then, I have to work on something else ...

don't think of it as a 'when' ... like Kicker said .. I'm working on painting mine purple with some glitz and lace ...

thinking of you!! ((HUGS))
