I Did It! (And Other Things!)

I haven't done it since July and wasn't even sure I could do it but I finally
challenged myself today and did it! (Okay, guys, get your mind out of the
gutter!{#basic-laugh.gif})


I walked
from the Gateway Terrace Apartments to the Gateway Shopping Center where the
Gateway Movie House is--and back!!!

Though it is a little less than a mile I have been hesitant to try it because
of my P.A.D. plus the operation though I knew I really wasn't hurting physically
from the latter. I just got out there and started walking and didn't  even have
to stop to rest up before coming back. May not mean much to you but it is a
BIG accomplishment to me.

And because of that I have decided to treat myself to
tickets to see "A Chorus Line", not that I wouldn't have anyway! They go on sale
THIS Friday for February 17-March 1--will go to see it with Alfredo,
Michael, Gino, Allen and John. No, not all together as we can get better tickets
going in groups of two or three--in any case I will drive the ticket guy crazy
this Friday as I want the best seats in the first row mezz for any performance
in any combination!!!!

11-12 years ago, for 6 months, my therapy was to walk 10 miles per day.
Now, I walk from the dining room table to my lazy-boy chair; thats it!!

Wow,this sounds great Martin.Going to see all of the guys there.
All right,cannot wait.Good for you to drive them crazy.
What a sweetheart that you are.
Now about that walk.This was one of my rehab thing.
I had to walk so far and each day to increased it.
Mike came with me and this help me so well in recovery.
That is good news there.your feeling much better.
Now the other test is try to walk up a flight of stairs.
The first time after my surgery,I was laboring up a flight of stairs.
short of breath,but did do it.Then the second or third time was much better.
As you know this is a shock to our system.
We will pervail.Cannot wait to mee the guys there.
