Pugwash's peg-leg

[Peter Gutterman]

A bit at a time.

Last Friday's physio included successful exploration on how to cope with pavement camber and slopes/ramps.
Rounded the session off using just one crutch.

At one point I remarked it almost felt like 'walking'; Mel, my guide then removed the crutch.
For the first time I took 3 short, tentative steps.

A eurica moment to be savoured.

just enough to open the flood gate of potential (like, I didn't become a heap on the floor!)

Each of those brief faltering steps were full of future promise.

I feel blessed and hope my words share the same with others who may have their own struggles to overcome.


EDIT
Plucked myself into a few moments of activity...

for the first time, using both stair rails I've just climbed my stairs easily and without incident (13 steps including the corner at the top).

Turned around and climbed back down.

A lot less effort than the same journey on my backside,

Another box ticked

Recalling the earlier posts following this arduous physical/emotional drama/trauma, I cannot adequately express my joy at reading this latest post. Good work, sir!
Please tell Mel I have become a fan!
