A Half Milestone

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin

Today all systems were go: 33°F, daylight, dry pavement, and a craving to walk some distance without my cane. Janet took the cane at the front door and we walked at a medium pace to my favorite animal sculpture park. After stopping to take a few photos, we walked back home. Total distance: One half mile using no cane or other walking aid.

As the journey started thirteen months ago, I couldn’t roll onto my side in a hospital bed. I graduated to a wheelchair, then a walker, followed by a cane, and now two legs. I’m currently scouting around for a longer full–milestone trail. (Photo by Janet).

    1. Thanks Donna, the boulevard it is! I think I’ll be ready next week for the One Mile. We can clock it with your pedometer. BTW, I’ve got some great skin cream for you, given to me by Cathy Frontiero (Paul’s wife) when I was at Seacoast nursing home. It’s called McKesson Vitamin A & D Ointment.

  7. Awesome Fred. Another month and they’ll take the garbage bags off those sculptures. You’re going for a boat ride in April since that looks like a dock ramp is a piece of cake.
