An Active Day

We set a goal today of doing several walks longer than yesterday's "baseline" walk. Dad blew through that goal and did more: he did six "baseline plus 14 steps" walks, *and* went out my sliding glass door and sat in the sun on my patio mid-afternoon, and drank a root beer. He's talking full steps, as opposed to shuffling, and only used the walker on the trip to the patio -- all other walks were on his own. He's not getting as tired after each walk. He did two full rounds of his PT exercises. He's definitely dedicated to completing his tasks, and his commitment is paying off. It's a lovely dat here in Southern California, sunny and 78 degrees. Dad likes to watch the hawks.
