It only took 14 months...

...but Bobbi's back up on the treadmill again!!! The recovery from this surgery is still progressing steadily, but it's been a MUCH slower process than I think any of us were prepared for. She's not very fast, but she's finally fast enough to be able to go at .6mph, which is the slowest speed that Grandma's treadmill will go. She managed five minutes yesterday, and today went for ten minutes total, though took a few breaks along the way. Her goal is to get back up to walking for an hour.

Because she still has issues with her legs crossing, and she's not fast enough to be able to correct as she goes (which she can do when she's just walking on the ground), Dad created a fantastic device that puts a board between her feet held in place by the uprights on the treadmill.
Bobbi doesn't like the sound of Daddy's favorite tool, the impact driver. 😁 Thus her goofy face! I tried taking a video, but made a joke, and she laughed and lost her stride and I had to rescue her, so no videos yet.
