Your new home sounds inspirational. One of the great things is getting involved and that makes a huge difference in your day to day life. I admire you for walking the mile plus track. This will improve your stamina and get your gait going. I have learned that I have to push myself when walking for long periods but it helps me in the long run. I, too, hope you will be able to rid yourself of the cane.

I would enjoy seeing pics of your new building. It sounds like it has a very inviting environment.

Great for you, I hope every thing will be alright as you settle in and get used to all the surroundings for your comfort they offer. I can tell you it's great to sit back and enjoy being alive.

Are your window overlooking the park wide enough to put you a pillow seat in it to look out with comfort?? The good part about senior living like this is all your neighbors won't be strangers waiting to hurt or rob you!

I'll be waiting to see the pics! Lets hope you will be able to get rid of your cane this year.

Hi Gladice,

Your new residence sounds beautiful. And to have an apartment with such a nice view too - how super for you. My Grandma had lived in a senior high rise and loved it with all the activities going on all the time.

I bet you will be retiring your cane before too long. Good for you. I too look forward to seeing pictures.

Gladice,

Good for you. My mother and father moved into a senior building at the age of 70. They had a first floor two bedroom, the bed went in one room and her bicycle went in the other. When she would take her bike out for a ride the other women on the first floor would come outside and watch her. If they were out when she arrived back they would then take a walk. Enjoy your new community. :congrats:
