I do not do well in hot weather and that's what we got today. And just as the first cold spell in late fall feels extra cold when, a few months later, a high of 0C/ 32F registers as Yippee no gloves! weather, so the first 25C/ 77F is 'can I turn on the AC?' Not that I did. Summer duvet and sleep shirt instead of feather and hoodie. Window fan in the window last night and standing fans during the day. Though when I pulled the bedroom fan out and plugged it in, I then looked at it for five minutes trying to figure how the thing turned on. No buttons, no levers, no nothing. Seems you turn the collar around the upright part and that's how it's done.
This is not set to last past Sunday, which is good. I may start feeling like myself again. But right now I'm grumpy because my upright walker isn't the miracle I'd hoped for. I did register that the removable bag it comes with isn't that large, but not that it's actually useless for carrying groceries. The walker itself is much wider than I'm used to and also ungainly, with a tendency to tip to one side: not nearly as stable as my other one. It folds up for storage, but that means it folds up when I don't want it to, and is still to my eye too big to fit into a car. There must be a way to lock it but I can't figure out what. So sometime next week I'll take it back up to Starkman's and see if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. And if there's a basket I can get for it.
Or I might start doing all my exercises with a view to ditching the walkers completely.
