Today is Saturday, so Steve K was right on tmie and Jim Y was running just a bt late. We managed a late start, but were at our usual starting place at Lakewood Center by 10:30am. Since I no longer need to be hooked up to oxygen, Steve and Jim took turns between assisting me with my walking, and pushing the wheelchair.
Shortly after we started, we were approached by a woman who asked how I was doing. She said that she works at Victoria's Secret and sees us walk by every Saturday. We thanked for her kind words and continued on our way. I thought about it and realized that we often stop in front of that store for a break, and Jim would then leave noseprints on the glass windows.
As we approached the Carousel, a shapely young latina in a snug v-neck came up from one of the kiosks to demonstrate her product. She placed fabric-covered sacs filled with gel on Jim's shoulders, and mentioned that it can be chilled or heated, depending on the type of treatment desired. It also had a potpourri-like fragrance, for aromatherapy purposes. As we walked away, I had to ask Jim what she said, as I missed her entire presentation because I was admiring her own fabric-covered sacs.
We rounded the Carousel and made our way back to the starting point next to Bed Bath and Beyond. The whole walk took about 70 minutes.
The three of us went to lunch at the Elephant Bar, where I had the Macadamia Nut Crusted Fish and Chiips. It was awesome.
A word about my blog .....
I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).
For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.
