I had a personal victory yesterday... I walked into Walmart to take Kiana to the restroom and didn't use my cane or a cart.  I just walked in from the parking lot totally on my own (Tim stayed in the car because Scotty was asleep).  I haven't walked in public like that in 5 years!  I felt so comfortable and confident, and totally proud of myself afterwards.  A huge accomplishment for me.  :)

And today, the kids and I went to Safeway where we went to get Scotty some juice (he has a cold).  It went very well.  I wanted to attempt the post office too to get stamps but Kiana didn't want to get Scott in and out of the car again.  :)

I am regaining my independence.
