Week 4: Slow and Steady

It's pretty clear that there is less big news to report this week, but progress continues. It seems that the major milestones this week have been:

• Walking without the cane pretty much all the time except for long walks.
• Long walks are approaching 2.5 miles (with the uphills and downhills of Tower Road).
• The last day of week four I did about 3/4 of the walk carrying the cane as opposed to using the cane.
• I can regularly hit 10,000 steps and have hit a max of 13,000.
• PT is feeling more like a workout -- it's all about rebuilding muscle strength.

I'm thinking that there will be only two more posts in this series, as the beginning of week six will bring me to my post-surgical appointment, and I expect to be pretty much fully functional. And anyway, I will need to start on my next blog series: flipping a classroom of 150 students!
