I figured that Sat. was as good a day as any to see how Jeff does driving. I was still in the jet lag mode, therefore in a perfect state of mind for a test drive. He hasn't driven since May, but to my surprise he did not show it. I even suspected he has been taking the car out on his own practicing but he assured me he has not. He drove around the streets of Torrance and on the freeway (did I tell Gayle that part?) with no signs of difficulty or fatigue. He was a bit tired afterwards, but I didn't have to jam my foot on my imaginary brake pedal on my side. Another step towards independence.
I have been looking on line for a cane for Jeff. He can use a normal cane instead of the quad cane now. Who would have thought that there were so many types, styles and materials. So I am looking at function, yet something that does not say octogenarian. Other than the light weight carbon fiber canes (OK,its the engineering side of me), they don't design for the under 30 crowd. Not that I am looking for skull and crossbones or flames (OK, I was), but something a little bit more youthful. Or is that a oxymoron.
