OldMtWoman- Hubby will not use a cain. I think his pride gets in the way. He uses me. So I have to walk close by him when we go anywhere. His balance problem is from the stroke. As long as he is touching a wall or something he does ok. But the balance is getting worse. When we go out somewhere that is when I really have to watch him and stay right by him. Also something is going on with his left knee as it gives out on him sometimes. Waiting on the ex-ray report for that. His right knee has not got any movement much in it at all. So right now the left on is the main concern.
You guys are so lucky to be living in country. I want so bad to move from a neighborhood that is growing way to big and get back to the country. Though I would have to be careful of where I would move at our ages. I would need a place I am sure I can manage. No more that 3 acres of land. That would be plenty for a garden and chickens for us. Plus a water source would be great as well.
Anyway on the prepping side, got the sheets washed and cleaned house and then went though a few papers and got them in the proper folders. Things will be on hold for a few days as our granddaughter from CA called and is coming in tonight. Her flight should be landing about 11 pm. She will be so tired when she gets here.
