My whole back is in one giant weird cramp. I think from whatever was going on with the electrodes at physical therapy. Arrrgh!
Despite that, I'm walking really well around the house. I'm not sure how to test walking distance. Maybe laps up and down the driveway without crutches, gradually increasing, until I have the confidence to walk further afield? I don't know whether I can rely on my leg not to collapse.
Even if I keep improving will I be confident enough to teach w/out a chair, or travel without one next month?
Oh - in good news - my new passport got here with amazing speed.
Can you tell I'm bored with lying in bed? At least being up, there's distraction from pain! Maybe it's time to take a muscle relaxant and watch those surfing documentaries.
Bring the chair! You can always not use it, and it sounds like it will fit in the airport coat closet (where mobility devices take priority -- even over captain's luggage!) Finding something as comfortable and maneuverable when you're not at home is more challenge than you need.
