It's been awhile since I have posted any news, mainly because I have tried to take it slowly and minimize my activities so as NOT fall, trip, stumble, misstep, or crash into a floor or wall or grass or trees. 
Its a little boring but so is surgery and rehab. I have a walker on every level of the house. I have a walker in the car and a walker for outdoors. I have made solemn vows to family and friends to go NOWHERE without a walker. Canes are not helpful for me. 
I have learned a lot about the world of walkers. (and wheelchairs). 
1.There are few automatic door openers (push the button to open)  but there are lots of people to hold the door (restaurants, smaller shops, office buildings).  
2. Its tricky getting the walker in and out of the car when you are by yourself BUT it can be done (slowly)
3.There are so many different kinds of walkers....
wheeled, no wheels, with seats, with and without brakes. My favorite has a seat, storage, hand brakes and its blue.
4). Certain stores are more accessible than others for walkers. My current favorite is Target...covered parking, always shopping carts nearby so I can then push the cart to the store where I can get a riding cart to shop. They are fast and fun and yes I have knocked over a few cardboard displays...no one hurt !!
5) Sidewalks are sometimes treacherous..dips, cracks, uneven pavement, tree roots...

All bird feeders are gone from the front yard and back yard. I'm now concentrating on plants on the new deck, and (with assistance) decorative wind blower 'things' in the back.

So....doing okay....I can sit in the front or back of the house and breathe. And enjoy the trees and greenery and squirrels and chipmunks and car sounds from 270 !!

Whatever
