I did it, I drove to tesco's getting in and out of the car no problems, walking with stick ok, only problem was the bloody trolly kept pulling to the left, I got round the store, great to be out amongst people again, by the time I got back to the car knackered doesn't begin to cover itredface then came the problem of lifting my shopping from the car up 5 steps to my house, but I'm a stubborn b*****r and I did it in 3 trips, now sitting in my chair a bit sore, cup a tea, feeling proud cheesygrin, but I'll probably suffer for it tommorrow

    Well done I always think the first time when you do something that you used to do is always the hardest thing to do but it will be easier the next time

    Well done but don't overdo it. I get my shopping delivered as I find it so much easier.

    Well done. Getting loose shopping on our own is such a big deal after THR. I remember getting on great till I got to the till and I dropped some coins. Took me a while but managed to eventually bend down to pick them up :-)

    I can't believe you are driving. I'm 6 weeks + and told by consultant not to drive for another 2 weeks. Bravo to you but take it easy.

    Dear Lynne ...

    Hope you had a good night sleep !  Wow, what a big accomplishment - 

    wazzup with those trolleys??? It is a universal thing - conspiracy of trolleys all over the world to pull to the left !!!!  here in Holland too ...

    the lifting out of the car and bringing the grocery bags in, is challenging - but you did good - 

    don't get over confident, okay ?  

    warm hug 

    renee
