Today was a picture perfect day, and I felt pretty darned good after an acupuncture appointment that treated some severe post-surgery sciatica that I have been dealing with for weeks. I had enough confidence to walk in a stable fashion on a trail today, as long as I had my walking poles. So, off we went to Hix-Small Cemetery Rd.
Drew and Toby led the way while I followed at a snail's pace, picking and choosing each footfall.
We made it half way up a slight rise, and I had to call it quits. I did quite well for my first outing (11 weeks post-knee replacement.) The total walk was about 0.3 mile on a bit of an uneven trail. I must say that it felt so good to be in a forest again.
Toby was a good boy as always. Even though the walk was short, he seemed to enjoy himself. This was our first family walk since Lady Flame went to doggy heaven and it felt strange to have only one pup in the forest.
