sometimes it is the little things that you notice that mean so much

yesterday I was able to take two non driving friends on a shopping village. One uses a walker, I managed to get it in the boot . Good to be able to help someone again

Today I had to change quickly before going out. Jeans and shoes changed standing.

great feeling

    Well done Maggie. I made myself cheese on toast on the grill. I'm lucky to have help but have to insist at times on doing for myself.

      Hi Georgie .... I love my sock aid ... next to the grabber it is my Best Friend - easy slip on and done ... no akward bending - eventhough restriction is lifted it is still challenging for me ... 

      cheers

    Maggie you're so right, last night we went to a pub for lovely dinner.  When I needed the loo I walked up a few stairs, without stick and without thinking quite naturally went step over step.  When I got into loo I worried as it was low but I had to use it and it was fine, and I stood up more easily than I did pre-op.  Have also dressed this morning without sitting down- yay!!
