Marilyn - You are a hero to me. Knowing others are "fixing" things to keep going, like your & ginger, keeps me humble and encourages me to do the same.
Keep on walking! It's when we quit that we seize up.

@thisismarilynb Walking has been a real go-to for me most of my life. I never tried race-walking, though. When I was training racehorses, some of the most meaningful time was spent "cooling out" a horse by hand-walking them, for up to an hour, stopping for warm water drinks. It was great for getting to know the animal, and we developed some real close bonds, besides teaching them many basics of good behavior.

I hope your PT will allow you greater walking abilities in the near future. Since I have bad neuropathy in my left leg/foot now, I use two walking sticks, to keep my balance. I watch for rough surfaces, and have to constantly remind myself "right foot first" when stepping up and down a curb. Seeing that I am left-handed, this has been difficult to remember! People rarely walk with me because I go so slow, even on my "fast" days ;)) Usually I tell people to "play through and go around because I movitate at a slower speed". Otherwise, I use a cane all the time.

@sueinmn Getting outside is surely a reward for waking up each day.
