New Lexus

Linda got a new walker on Monday. We spent the day in Columbia, since Truman was closed and Ellie had school. We picked up the walker and took it over to Rusk for practice. Nowhere is easier than Rusk, so if the walker had been too hard there, we'd have known it was too hard.

But it wasn't too hard. It was interesting at first, but Linda soon came to feel more comfortable with it than her regular walker. She felt like she walked better. She said that back when we were at Rusk, one of the other patients described a new electric as his "new Lexus." So that is what Linda called her walker.

We took it to the gym today; our first try there. It was different on the track, and more challenging. We've got a different strategy for the next time we go.

If you'd like to see what her walker looks like, they sell them at Amazon.com: picture. It's very blue.
