Got up -- thank God -- did my physical therapy, popped my pills, contacted VA Hospital concerning my new situation and learned that I was suppose to be wearing both panty hoses to prevent a blood clot. You can not take anything for granted because their are multiple people giving multiple instructions during this process. Some will however take it for granted that you already know what they think someone else has told you before. Sounds confusing I know it does. I also inquired about follow-up services such as my home physical therapist and a hand rail that they promised to build.
I came up with a neat way to haul stuff around while using my walker which requires the use of both hands. I got this idea from being and infantry foot soldier in Uncle Sam's Army. You just use a small back pack to put your items in and that way you will still have both hands free to guide your walker. When it comes food, use one of those plates that you can cover your dish or a tupper ware container will do. Put your ice for drinks in a ziploc bag and walla! You are now an urban infantry foot soldier!
