Out of titles

I'm running out of things to title my posts. Maybe it is because life is becoming routine, fewer surprises. Linda keeps working hard. She is probably walking about 75% of the time now (always with her walker). She walks almost everywhere when we go out, and she walks most of the time at home.

Lately it seems (to me) that it is taking forever for her to walk (unassisted). She walks so much, I feel like she should be seeing faster improvement. There were patients at Rusk that I saw improve very fast once they began to walk, and it is hard not to compare. Linda is improving. She can walk pretty long distances without her air cast. In fact, she can walk pretty far distances in just her tennis shoes (which don't support her ankles like her boots do). So she is getting better and stronger and faster.

And yet it is going to be a long time before she can walk around Wal-mart or Hy-Vee. It's going to be even longer before she can do it without assistance.

She's keeping her humor somehow. This morning, she fell soundly on her butt in the living room. I expected her to start crying, but she just laid there on the floor laughing. Ellie came in to try to help her up, which was funny too.
