Day 31 - On the Road Again

This morning I got back behind the wheel of my car and drove. My wife didn't want me to drive, so I snuck out of the house while she was busy. I drove slow at first. I used two feet instead of one, the left for the brake and the right for the gas. I drove to O'Reilly's in Mission to buy a battery for my other car. Feeling ok, I then drove to a used parts store in Alamo to buy a window regulator for my wife's car. On the way home I stopped at Stripes to fill up the truck. And I stopped at HEB Express to buy some snacks. It wasn't too bad. I was able to get my walker down by myself. The seat was a little uncomfortable on my hip, but that is probably because I haven't driven in a month. It felt good to be on the road again. It gave me a sense of regaining my independence. I am going to try to drive to work this week by myself. Will see how it goes.
