Even downhill is quite an accomplishment.

At least I'm not depending on the pills nearly as much as I was. It's all too easy to become addicted to them.
I had my first post-embolism experience with stairs today - made me feel about 30 years older than I am.
It's really freaking out my 9 year old son - seeing his dad needing a cane to get around and obviously in a lot of pain, when he knows me as a big strong guy who can do anything without anyone's help (obviously he sees me as a bit larger than life).
It was heartbreaking to see his face the first time he saw me as helpless as I am now. I did explain to him why I'm having such a hard time now, and that it's probably temporary. I think he understood.
