big milestone for me.... One small step

Well....I just did something that I haven't been able to do in 4 years!!!! I walked around the city block downtown!!!1 YAY!!!
Ok, so those of you who walk 1-5 miles a day or run marathons might think that this is really silly, but I have bad arthritis in my lower back, knees and feet. My mobility has been compromied for about 4 years now, with the length of one block being the most I could walk at one time on a good day. That's the reason that I had the sleeve surgery....to lessen the weight and pressure on my joints and to improve my mobility.
You have no idea how thrilled I am that I actually walked around the entire block (4 times what I could do), no stops or hesistations. And, I did it in less than 7 minutes!!! Am I hurting? some. Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! I CAN do this.... I want to be able to do it multiple times by the end of September. That's my goal now that I know that I can do it!
