No Speed Racer, no

At PT today I walked 210 feet before I had to touch my cane to the floor to keep from falling over.
And then I did another 150 feet.
It pretty nearly wiped me out. By the time I finished the walking, I was utterly soaked in sweat.
The hardest part of walking sans cane is keeping my feet fairly close together, rather than shoulder-width apart. A narrow stance is inherently less stable, but I don’t want to be accused of having a wide stance, ifyouknowwhatImean.
I won’t be setting any land speed records any time soon. On the straightaway I’m slow, and when I have to turn around, I’m even slower.
Nevertheless, this is much better than I ever expected.
