I walked

around the block without the cane... did the same thing yesterday. I am getting stronger and sleeping a bit better. I'd still rather use the cane because it's easier to walk with it... but don't want to become dependent on it.. I'm taking the pain pill how the doctor advised. His words were to 'stay ahead of the pain." Just means to not let the pain get out of control and then take a pill. They don't work as good that way. I guess it makes sense, it seems to be working. Next I'll try two blocks. Would love to try my bike but don't think my knee would bend enough.. I so want to get a three wheeled bike. Wouldn't that be fun? I don't care if people laugh at me.. need to do what I want. But just cant afford that right now. J
