Sorta Walked

I'm kinda excited cause after washing up for bed last night I  just picked up the super lightweight walker at the sink and carried it to the bed side rather than rolling it last night.  I kept it in front in case I needed to support myself with it as I irresponsibly fell forward.  But I made it fine.  What I really need now is stamina, so I don't tire too quickly.  And don't worry, I'm not going to be reckless, no running or dancing...

As the temp has gone from 69 to 94 ( today) were not walking outside right now as I'm a convincing wuss about what I can do.  I have my first date with a physical therapy clinic tomorrow.  It'll be quite telling to see what they can get out of me.  I'm gonna try my best, but no passing out allowed.

I saw on Facebook a celebration of my friend Les Krambeal's life (he recently passed from cancer), and I have to say I was moved to remember so many of the fun conversations we'd had over the years.  I want to send love to his partner Gordon Owsley and those who celebrated Les.  I know Les lived a full and fun life.  Les and Gordon were amazingly generous in providing get togethers back at their home in Ashland.  I miss those times.

Speaking of fun, my sister found an Alaskan cruise, which she, my mother, Ki and I are going on at the end of next week.  Hopefully I won't lose my balance and go swimming.  My father always wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise, so this is a bit of an homage to him.  I have a week and a half to build up stamina, so I plan to get my daily exercise back up.  The kitty needs to get out of the way though...

If I haven't managed to keep in touch, please know I'm thinking about you, and I'm trying to not identify with the sr citizens on the multitude of scare the medically needy elderly commercials that are all over the television these days.

Don't tell my sister... But we would have rather gone on the cruise later in the year with the drag queens from Rupaul's Drag Race.  I'm kidding sorta... 

Here's a shot of Liz and I from years gone by...
