2683 steps yesterday.  For some reason i was really sore yesterday so it was a bit of a struggle to walk much.  I am hoping to do a bit better today.
No actually I was not using a walker when I was going through therapy.  The one I originally had was from when I broke my hip and was one that had wheels on the front and skids on the back.  It was quite light weight and easy to put in the car when I went places.  I didn't need to use a walker until I got out of the hospital with kidney failure and for some reason after that I have been weaker and more dependent on it.  I have replaced the first one with what they call a Rollator that has wheels on all four  legs.  It is a bit heavier than the first one but it folds and I can still get it is my car and use it.  The benefit of it is that I can push it with only one hand so I can walk normally and have it handy if I need support or lose balance.  I just have to remember to not try to lean on it.

6,079 steps yesterday.

Knees were kind of stiff for some reason, maybe I sat a bit too much. It took me a bit each time I got up to get moving smoothly again.

2566 steps yesterday.  I was really sore again yesterday and it was a real problem at times.  I had to lean on my walker a lot more than I like to just to manage getting around.  I seem to be doing a lot better this morning so hopefully a better day. With the days warming up I would like to get outside and walk around but I need to be doing a bit better.

My knees were bugging me yesterday, I think it was the quick change in the weather from warm back to cold and damp. They seem better today, but I'm going to take it a bit easy today. Weather is supposed to warm up again so I'm hoping that helps.

Had a very long day yesterday and walked a lot. My phone was also completed discharged by the time I returned so I don't know the count but I am sure it is 5k+

2961 steps yesterday.  I did feel a lot better and was not nearly as sore but I don't feel like doing too much as it kind of has caused me to have problems the next day.  I was really hoping to get stronger if I walked more but it doesn't seem to be working that way.

I'm so sorry you are having problems Wally. Do what you are comfortable with, move as much as you are able to without pain and go with that for as long as you need to.

6,915 steps yesterday.

For some reason, my back is kind of achey this morning. I'm going to take it easy and see if it settles down.

2691 this morning.  Not a very big number and I am actually surprised because I felt better and thought that I had walked more.  My BIL is at his place in Arizona this week end so I made the trip outside across the street to the mail box and it may not sound like much but that is about as far as I can go in one trip.  Well, I will see what today has in store.

6,655 steps yesterday. My goal was to take it easy, but it was so nice out, I did some yard clean up and now back is really achey. Guess I over did...

3022 steps yesterday.  I actually felt better yesterday and did a bit better as a result.  My trip across the street to get the main was easier and I was able to walk more without using the walker for support.  I hope I can continue with that today.

7,935 steps yesterday. A monthly high but not on purpose!

I was taking it easy most of the day when a big wind started early evening. Racing around trying to get things secured outside. Mostly cat beds in boxes and the feeding dishes. Anything not weighted down basically, then some of the latticework on the back porch started coming loose. Searched for things to tie it down...lots of running around at the end of the day!

3993 steps yesterday.  Not a big number by any means but quite good for me lately and I did feel pretty good so did a bit more.  Now to see how I feel today.
Around here we have to keep things tied down or protected from the wind all of the time.
