Of course, my days get changed some by going to lunch with 2 different groups of friends and another group I go to movies with. Then, my hubby will decide I need to get out of the house and we go ride around for a while - after stopping for a "blizzard" from DQ - and check out new areas of town. I must say, I really am "busy" in the mornings with cleaning, ironing, PT exercises, laundry, etc. That pretty well does it for me. I know I am fortunate to be able to walk with a cane and be fairly independent inside of the house. Outside of the house, I use a wheelchair.
