City Restaurants and Crutches

City restaurants were accommodating, parking my scooter outside while I managed with crutches. I was allowed only 25% weight-bearing this month, making every outing a bit of a challenge.

Waiting at the Hospital with My Sister

Celebrating My Brother’s Birthday Before NYC

The day before leaving for NYC and HSS, we celebrated my brother’s birthday and his big win in a putting competition! So proud of him and thrilled to share this special moment before my trip.

Getting Better with the Scooter

Getting the hang of the scooter despite navigating the cracks in NYC sidewalks. Living near the HSS physical therapy offices made it easy to attend sessions frequently. Progress is happening, one ride at a time!
