Yep, even walking funny, the green side is better! Walking funny doesn't bother me - never been all that graceful to begin with - now I have an excuse! A while back, I was at a gas station, and some guy kept going on and on about how great I was for trying to walk, and "God Blessing my little heart" all over the place. I kept wondering what he expected me to do - roll up into a ball and give up? So I walk funny, I'm walking!! And who in the world was he to say anything at all to me? Should have whacked him with my cane!! I still can't believe that an absolute stranger would go on and on. I had to go in the place to use my debit card, go back to my car and pump the gas, then back into the store - the guy was finished with whatever he was doing in the store - he just stood there watching me and then waited for me to make the return trip into the store for my receipt, and started in again about how wonderful and "brave" I was. Yep, ever see the jerk (or if another one appears) I think I'll stop being so polite and tell the person where they and their sympathy can go. Fitbit won't let me say where in the dictionary you can find "sympathy" - and I don't want or need it - next time (and there will be a next time - world is full of some strange people) - I'll whack him with my cane. With all the surgeries and being tossed in the nursing home repeatedly - the one part of my body I could strengthen (at that time) was my arms - had to be able to haul myself around somehow - I'll show them strength when I whack a jerk with my cane! Think I'll go for a walk then consider doing the floors....
