I've heard the term "retail therapy" used in a joking way before, be we've merged the need for Shirley to be up and walking, the fact that stores have nice large flat spaces and the fact that she frankly needs to buy some stuff to give the term new meaning. For some reason, the clothing Shirley chose to bring with her for a February transplant just aren't quite appropriate for August--even with Seattle's mind climate.
Friday, after the day spent walking between hospital appointments and then six hours in the ER, didn't have too much time for other walking, but we did spend an hour browsing a local Bartel's store. Yesterday, we made a morning excursion with a couple of stops plus a nice drive along Lake Washington; and then an evening outing with a stop at one of Shirley's favorite clothing stores.
Today, we are going to tackle Costco and then hopefully go for a walk in a nice flat park somewhere.
Stairs and inclines continue to pose a challenge, but I can tell she's getting stronger every day.
