Saturday (7/18) was a red letter day.  Michael had to leave early for golf, but he got me dressed first (something I still can't do for myself), and set my tea to steeping before leaving.  I can get my tea from where it steeps over to the kitchen table...but i really wanted to watch a bit of tv.  However, there,s no way i can shift it along from the kitchen to the media room.  I wondered if I could carry it, so i used the walker with my left hand and carried the tea in my right...all the way from the kitchen...score!!!  May not seem like a lot, but that meant i was putting almost my whole weight on my new hip...I was very pleased.
