Today was my first day in a long time back at physical therapy. The PT, Jenn, had me harnessed on a support mechanism above a treadmill, She ramped up the speed to 2.0 mph, just to see if my leg could maneuver on it.
Up to now, my best speed on a treadmill is 0.6 mph, but I walk (unassisted with the walker) around 0.25 mph. Imagine covering a distance of six feet in twelve seconds and you’ll know my comfort zone. At 2.0 mph, I’d be lying on the floor if it wasn’t for the harness. I lasted about 7 minutes.
Jenn said that her goal for me was to make it past 20 minutes. Wish me luck!!

I also have a brother at Country Villa Belmont Heights. I am some distance a way so I cant visit him.
He is a nice guy. Could you say hi to him sometime. 40C
I know you can and will get beyond the 20 minutes. Best of wishes. Elaine

Dear Jim:

Just wanted to say Hi.
I just read your blog.
I enjoy reading to see how you are doing.
I just sent you an e-mail, too.
Save up your strength for your walk exercises.
Happy for you.
Take it slow and steady.
Thinking of you.
