Duck vs Frankenstrein

Hi Everyone
I wrote a note in my journal that had me laughing.
I slowly waddled into physical therapy like a duck. and came out walking like Frankenstein

It is very diificult to try to walk normal when for years I have been throwing my body around like raggety ann

I am not trying to walk like like a princess but just too walk     Hooray!!!!!!            slow but sure, I'm trying

therapist kept saying big steps and it is stuck in my head, lol                      Linda

I'm different every day, often different several times each day.  I think I feel like Popeye most of the time; my feet flip out forward and then flop down on the floor, & it feels like I'm wearing rubber flippers.

I just kind of shuffle like Tim Conway's old man character.

I think of myself as Quasimoto dragging my left side as I walk. I can walk fast I just sort of drag a throw my left leg like it is not a part of me.

As Mel Brooks said "Walk this way"
