Master and Commander Posts: 2253 Location: Foothills of the Ozarks | Subject: Took my first unaided steps today Hilda the Hun armed with a cattle prod, whistle, riding crop and dressed in jackboots and jodphurs got me to take my first steps today without my crutches. I didn't fall down and I have learned the true meaning of "chu vill enjoy dis; am I klear?". Actually, she is very nice, very professional and doesn't take any crap or excuses. She then hooked me up to some electric gizmo for 20 minutes but all they got was my name, rank and serial number and I got a 20 minute nap. My early morning walks have taken on a whole new dimension. I hope to shed the crutches by the end of this week.  | ||
