Things To Remember About Walking With A Cane

1. Don't whack your bum knee with the stupid cane.

2. Don't kick the stupid cane out from under yourself with the good foot.

3. Don't drop the stupid cane. Bending over to retreive it while balancing on one leg is harder than it might seem.

Who knew this cane-walking thing required so much coordination? Lol! I sincerely hope I don't have to update this post with further 'don'ts'.

I'm having one of those little frozen chicken pot pies for lunch, then Cathy is going to come and make me hurt again. Then I'll take a nap. Busy, busy, busy...

So I guess attending Boo's party might be a little dangerous for you?

I sometimes crave those pot pies, but never buy them. They were a staple in our house growing up. Those and Banquet frozen dinners.

I totally missed Boo's party. My bad.

I think my mom made Banquet TV dinners just once. We all said "yuck!" and that was the end of that. The little pot pies were better. My mom made those on days when dad wasn't there for dinner. They're not great, but they're not bad.

What about sex with a cane?

I loved Banquet Pot Pies growing up. Although I think they were Morton's back then. They were in brown boxes.

I still love them and will eat them to this day. I especially love the turkey and chicken ones.

Schwan's has a pretty good one. But there is just something to me about the cheapies that I really seem to like.

Which begs the question:

Do you pop the pot pie and smoosh it all up to eat it? Or do you just eat it all neat and whatnot?

We missed you in Canda. It would ahve been fun to whack Lightsy and Breezy with the cane. *grin*

Hmm, good stuff to know! My grandpa used an umbrella as a cane this weekend. It was so cute.

Glad to see you are recovering. Yes you do loose a little flexibility to relieve the pain. It's been 1 year + and my hip is getting more flexible as time goes on.
