Here’s Tuesday. First, Jill made her way down the hill. She didn’t go as far as I would have thought, but still, I need to see some more proof. The PVC pipe doesn’t weigh as much as we do. If it were weighted more, then it might provide a more accurate idea. I’m just thinking too much about all this. I suppose I’ll have the real life version on Thursday when we go down the stairs. Sorry Mickey, I’m still not convinced I won’t break my neck going down the stairs.
On Tuesday, we worked with the diagonal technique and two point touch. It was really cool to have the cane in hand and begin learning to use it. I was way more tense and in my head than I thought I would be. I’d gotten pretty comfortable walking without the cane so that the addition of the cane felt weird and cumbersome. It was a really odd sensation, carrying the cane. I really didn’t know what to do with all the new information. I suppose that’s where the over-reaction comes in. I was really startled when the cane hit something. I suppose I was ready to react like crazy; I’m not sure what I would have been reacting so strongly to. I imagine that with greater practice, I’ll become more familiar. I am really excited to learn more.
