Neighborhood Walk

It has been two months since Gene broke his hip during the Portland Marathon. Recovery has been painful at times and Gene has been bored and restless at others - but he is making progress. A couple weeks ago he began walking with a cane rather than the crutches and this week he began to do some limited walking without the cane.

Yesterday we went to our storage unit and organized the mess that was there and brought our Christmas tree home. Then we had lunch and watched the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cowboys - YAY! After that, we took a short walk in the neighborhood. It was so nice to be out walking with Gene again. I think it helped him mentally, as much as physically - knowing that he is on his way back.
