Out and about

So .... this is actually not best practice.  But it worked. Cold as hell night in Minneapolis for our first foray back into the world of restaurants and bars. Had to get up the curb, so Ron popped me into a wheelie and we got up.  Got the job done.  Part of what I'm working on in PT is to be able to get up (and down!) curbs like this on my own. It's a process, and at times a scary one. 

I love my home.  It's a beautiful loft condo with a view out over the Mississippi River and a Minneapolis landmark, the Stone Arch Bridge.  But my parking spots require me to ascend this gigantic ramp to get up it. The peanut gallery is having some fun with me here.  But it's 50 feet of 5 degree incline. On carpet.  With this, I still have the TLSO brace on -- but it'll get easier over time.  Not quite sure how I'm going to do the groceries, though....
