Muffy….hope bad weather passed you by. 😮 I hate tornadoes….so little warning.
As far as cane/walker use: Canes are when wall trailing isn’t enough….or you have too many wide gaps where you can’t wall trail. A cane, in particular, isn’t necessarily to LEAN ON. In fact, if you get to the lean-on stage, it’s getting close to time for a walker. A cane is another way of getting data so you keep upright – a ‘wall trailing’ that you bring with you. Also called “Third Point of Reference”. At this stage, you should adjust a cane so that you’re walking upright, normally. Be aware of slumping over/leaning merely out of habit.
Glad your son is ‘listening’! \0/ I’m also wondering where @OldMansd is…?
Columbia River…..LOL I know that rabbit hole! Been down there many times! 🙂 But it’s FUN!
We’re prepping for the unsettled weather this week. DH will go “to town” tomorrow to pick up a few things and see if ANYone has wood pellets. We’re conserving wood pellet use for when temps drop low again. He filled the livestock tank again this afternoon.
I’ve been working a bit at a time on transferring data from 2016-2018 calendars to a more logical notebook. DH and I were really scratching our heads to figure out WHICH YEAR that person was in hospital…etc. Got more recorded today….tho with the scratches out and arrows, I’ll eventually have to redo the notebook pages. Wow….enlightening! We’ve been unhappy about all the stuff we haven’t been able to accomplish or keep up with but….this is showing where all our time/energy has truly been spent. Constant medical stuff with us and even more with our elderlies. So MUCH in the past few years!!!! We kept saying – “All THAT happened in the same year? Seems like ages have passed!” …… {sigh} Also had a depressing conversation with all our generation about the elderlies…again. 🙁 We’re trying to be prepared for eventualities.
OldMtWoman G’nite all and stay safe
