So apparently I did too much yesterday. No regrets. My physiotherapist advised me to start small with short 5-minute walks outside. Literal baby steps. He said I could try using walking poles instead of the cane.

I had a full day yesterday including going out for lunch + ice cream with a good work friend after physio. She also took me to a forest. While walking is limited, my soul really needs to be in nature.

New physio exercise given to me yesterday: try walking down a short hall in my apartment without the cane but use the walls if needed to steady myself.

So, I just tried walking without my cane and I’m so glad there isn’t any video footage. I felt like a drunk toddler. 🀣 I definitely could not walk in a straight line unassisted. Baby steps. Drunk baby steps. 🀣
