Bettie is walking longer distances and duration each day, to the point where measuring the distance is no longer meaningful. When she starts running the low hurdles, I'll mention it, but that won't be for a few weeks yet.
The right hand seems to be the big breakthrough now. Fingers are moving more each day, so that now she can grip a regular two-handed walker. You might think that is a step backward because she has been using a one-handed one. But the two-handed version keeps her more erect and it strengthens the right hand and arm. She can also go twice as fast with it.
(It's painful to remember that I'm the guy who used to complain because, in my exalted opinion, she took too long to get ready to go anywhere. Now I celebrate that she can move a little faster than a snail. Men: beware of what you complain about.)
Now that a release date is on the calendar, she and the staff are really pushing hard to accomplish a lot. At the end of each day she is pretty tired and hungry.
She had a good dinner, and I left her watching the Mariners.
