I mowed my lawn today. That doesn't sound like much but a year ago I was in a wheelchair beginning a 3 month stay in a rehab facility to learn to walk again. When I was discharged I was using a walker. At home I went from the walker to a quad cane and then a regular cane. And now in the house, where I feel safe, I'm not using a cane at all.

So mowing my lawn felt like a big deal!

I had a folding cane with me. My cordless electric mower served as a 4-wheel walker, although heavier and requiring more muscle. When I wanted a break I unfolded the cane and walked over to my porch. It all worked out.
