Five weeks ago, I would not have expected to be walking about Golden. Zayne has two modes: fast and stopped. We walked up to Mother Cabrini’s Shrine in 11 minutes. A few months ago, it took her an hour to get to the top. She is starting to leave me in the dust, except that she is getting stitches that is forcing her to rest. Against my advice, she drank from the spring.
Tomorrow will be the start of the real cardiac rehab, but I’m not allowed to watch. Last week was evaluation. It is a good thing we are walking a bunch. Zayne is very frustrated, because she wants to climb things, swim, ride her scooter, and ride her new bike (which still needs to be purchased). She has outgrown her last bike that I purchased during her rejection episode 4 yrs ago. We can’t go shopping since she isn’t allowed to ride, yet.
We checked out the baby buffalo (and the large adults) at Denver’s Buffalo Herd. No one was close to the fence, but the calves are pretty cute. We went to a stocked private pond for some trout fishing. Zayne pulled in one, and I got two of them. I didn’t feel the need to hold the trout (I didn’t have my nitrile gloves with me), so I let the guide release the fish. Now, I recall why I used to put my rod down and run around to explore. Sometimes, I was lucky and came back to a fish on the line. I just don’t have the patience, and neither does Zayne.
Great photos! It is all so surreal to me; she looks great!
