Thank you all for your encouraging words. This morning when I got up and came in the living room with the walker he gave me a look and I said "What?" he replied "Can you walk without that contraption?" I was not offended I told him I know he hates seeing me walk with the walker.

I did try using the cane when I went out to the porch to sit in the sunshine and hold and pet the cats. It was a good experiment------------I guess. It did not take much walking with the cane to feel so much worse, and to see that it is my back.

progress........hahaha. Now I know just how much the walker was helping, and so does he.

He did some errands this morning, is getting some necessary things done. We are facing some of those big problems of last week, one at a time, doing what we can. Thank you all for listening.
gratefully
