Today I walked out to the Panda Express on Canyon road and bought a large tub of Orange Chicken and a large tub of noodles and carried them home. It's the longest I've walked since I got back from the rehab. Google Earth says it was nearly a mile, round trip.
The big thing I was worried about was crossing Canyon Road, which is 4 lanes. But I did fine; plenty of time to spare.
I am really tired now, and I'm going to feel it tomorrow. But it's good for me to push myself, and I'm walking better than before.
If I can increase my range about another 25%, I'll be able to reach Fred Meyers, the local omnibus store, and the place where my prescriptions get filled.

I've seen those, and the seat is a nice addition. The walker I used at the rehab was just plain aluminum. I don't have one now because I don't need it.
And once I became able to walk with a cane, I stopped using the walker. It kind of felt like I was graduating to a new level.
I still used the wheelchair, however. That's because they required me to have someone walk with me when I was using the cane, but I could go out in the wheel chair any time I wanted. So I spent a lot of time chugging up and down the halls in the wheelchair, in order to exercise my left arm and hand.
