Sarah walked 840 feet with the walker yesterday.

Today she did 1,758 feet.

Math based on the physical therapist telling me the length of the hallway is 230 ft and I counted the ceiling tiles from her room to the south end. And the number of times we reached each end of the hallway. And I'm just guessing 15 feet from the bed to the hallway, 15 ft back.

One third of a mile.

Awesome view from the window at the north end.

She's already walking more than I do.

When I was a kid my parents took me to Florida and they were selling these tiny lemon trees...in a restaurant.
Dad let's get one of these lemon trees..it would be so cool..lemons.

Son we live in Canada, #1 they would be dead by winter.
#2 this "tree" is not going to make it to next week even here in Florida.
#3. You can't bring it through customs, they will take it and burn it.

We settled on buying this game that was a triangle with pegs it was a puzzle.
This game, my friends were as fascinated by it as I was.

If I remember right, it was Howard Johnson's hotel chain that used to have them on the tables in the restaurant. :headscratch2:

Earlier today, at the grocery store this old guy fell in the produce section and we helped him up. Me and some woman who works there. Then he fell again. He shakes like he's got Parkinsons.

We put him on one of the store's electric scooters and another customer walked with him to get his groceries while I checked out and put mine in the van, grabbed a mask and went back in.

His legs gave out twice more while we were walking him from the door to his fancy electric scooter outside.

So we escorted him to his house a mile away and helped him into his house. I put his groceries in the fridge while Mustang guy woke up the guy's wife so we could tell her what's going on and have her figure out if he's skipped any of his meds.

Then I fed his morbidly obese pit bull and we left.

Mustang guy never ended up getting any of his own groceries. He had to go pick up his kids from school.

That's a stand up thing that you guys did @Duck . I commend you both!

My neighbor is 80 years old and still tries to get on his yard tractor. When I'm doing my yard, I just keep going across the front and do his for him. It takes me about 15 minutes and I hope I'm just paying it forward to the time when I can't anymore.

That's why we did it. If the guy was content to stay on the store's little scooter we'd have probably continued on our own shopping and left. But he kept insisting it was just a passing thing with his legs and all he needs to do is sit down for a minute, and he'd get up and fall again.
