Thursday.
We went to Lady Bay. Just for look around. We ended up with a new washing up bowl and drainer, you might go out not wanting anything, but you always find something... However it was nice to walk around at our own pace. And have a coffee and a sit down when we needed it. We went for a burger for lunch and then walked back, I did well, I managed 5000 steps. With a couple of stops. There aren't any seats at Lady Bay, so we have to plan, a coffee and a sit when we get there, and one again when we've done. But I can do a bit more, and my cane is a godsend. I feel more confident with it. I do walk around at home now without it, but outside I still need that reassurance of it keeping me balanced.
A big part of Cerebral Palsy is a lack of balance, no matter what level of it you have, thankfully mine is level one, but it explains why keeping my balance has always been a challenge for me. That's why I've always fallen a lot. But now I know why, and using a walking stick doesn't bother me... If it bothers others, that their problem, and none of their business quite frankly. They have a choice if they don't want to be seen with me, fair enough they can just eff off, to be honest...
