Climbing new heights

I had been thinking recently that Linda hasn't been doing the variety of physical activities that she did when she was at Rusk. So today we went to Violette Hall to do the stairs.

She did great. Phenomenal. You'll remember that the stairs are the hardest PT activity she did at Rusk. They have a practice set of 5 steps, and sometimes going up and down would be most of a session. Today, Linda scaled the 25 step circular staircase in the Violette common area. What's more, she did it in the "normal" fashion, alternately stepping with each foot, and without her air cast for ankles support (just her boots). At Rusk she always took each step with her best foot.

We rested at the top on the couches and came down (which is a bit more difficult). If you count the 6 steps outside, Linda successfully navigated 31 steps both up and down this morning.
