This item has been lurking in RantWoman's Drafts for months. RantWoman decided just to publish it as part of the whole story of Jana's accident.

The good news continues. Jana and Warren have been taking longer walks, including a walk all the way around Green Lake with a refreshing break for tea and a rest. Physical therapy told Jana to put her crutches away for good, though Jana may use trekking poles on longer walks if she wants. And Jana has been discharged by speech therapy.

Jana and Warren have also had some fun. In addition to visitors at their home, they visited friends in Port Townsend for the day and stopped at some favorite places on Bainbridge Island on the way home. Jana commented that it was nice to be out and see the Pacific Northwest. And Jana and Warren walked to the bus and took Metro to downtown Seattle. This was the first time Jana has taken the bus since the accident. Jana and Warren ate lunch in the Pike Street Market and admired the Calder exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum. All very normal Seattle activities!


RantWoman adds:
RantWoman mentioned to Jana how much fun it is to hear about all these normal activities. Jana said she planned their trip using the Metro trip planner . RantWoman mostly highly approves of the trip planner but can sometimes find some or another feature an intellectual challenge, so Go Jana.

Jana had a so-so assessment of the Calder exhibit. RantWoman is inclined to like Calder and stored the remaining dates of the exhibit anyway.
