Your mom is such a spunky monkey, God bless her! I have to remind myself to slow down some days, especially when the kids are here, I just want to play. I am always exhausted when they leave, but happy with all the new memories.Very nice post @lizelle, beautiful pictures of the shoreline.

Ah they are so lucky to have a Grammy like you but hey, you have loads of time to recover afterwards not so; precious memories indeed!
You've summed Mom up so well, a real spunky monkey who is not ready to slow down just yet and that's what she hates about the walker as she walks too fast so ends up too close to the front and of course would go tumbling then, so I've given up now and we will just walk beside her when she moves around. She used to go for long walks on her own up till about 10 years ago, but sadly this acoustic neuroma was growing inside her head without us knowing and affects her balance really badly!
Life can seem so unfair as she always took good care of eating healthy foods, not a junk food lover like me! And was always walking with a friend or on her own!
But she's a very determined little lady and has adjusted but this ankle injury is a huge setback!
Thank you for your kind words @farm-mom.

I must say though, she is inspiring.
Give her a hug from the grammy up in the mountains of NYS.Good day @lizelle, seems any injury in advanced age just takes so much longer to heal. Even though it is tedious to walk with her, the more she's weight bearing, the better all around.
