This morning I made it all the way around the block! That was with Annie pulling the walker, and it was -10 windchill. I think I did it and walked faster than before because it was so cold. Each time I slowed down to rest, Annie would take off for home and since she was tied to the walker I really didn't have much choice. As you all know this has been a goal for several weeks, so my new goal is coffee at Dunn Bros! It is about a three block walk one way, let's see how long it takes to order my Carmel Mocha Latte with whip cream!
The other big news over here is I found a Diet Coke holder for my walker (would you expect anything less from me, really?) My friend Rae Ann had found loaner medical equipment for when I first came home. This was so great since I didn't know what I would need or for how long. The one thing I did find out is I will need the walker with the built in seat for quite some time. So this is something I can now take my time and go out and find the right one without being all stressed out coming home from the hospital, and decorate it with a Diet Coke holder! So there's my little hospital hint for you all to throw in the back of your minds that you will hopefully never need to use.
I'm off to mess up my house for an awesome group of work friends that are coming over to clean for me. Stay warm!
Hey! Now that's progress. You wouldn't get me outside today if I could walk.

Sorry for posting late . But am proud of you and so are all the others . Way to Go Janis ... We'd like to see you sprinting all the way to the coffee shop . But hey , look at the positives of all this , you're now taking time to walk the three blocks , on a usual day you would just drive and miss all the wonderful things between those 3 blocks . Since you take time to walk nowadays you must be seeing a whole new world .. right ????
