I think it's been almost a week, since i started walking my new route. I haven't checked how much (in kms) it is, but i may say that it's a lot longer than all my previous routes. I'm walking with moderate steps (not so slowly), and the whole route takes me ~2 hours of walking, without a single stop. Plus, i'm dragging my liquid with me, because closer to the end of my "journey", i become very thirsty. My liquid weighs 2 kilos, and when i was dragging it in the sack on my left shoulder, like i've always done, my left knee hurt badly. I have arthrosis of my left knee, but it's ok, if i don't overload it with additional weights while walking. So i made up a "lifehack": i just put my liquid into the rucksack! It's a little inconvenient, as i still have to carry my handbag, but i'll manage (the knee suffers less). These walks are relaxing and interesting, because the route itself is quite romantic,- especially now, when everything is blooming, and even the ordinary streets have turned into park alleys of some sort. It sounds crazy for a person with polyneuropathy - to walk and walk and walk without sitting down, or without a stop, but when it comes to walking, i'm pretty endurant, and moreover, i have no choice: sitting on benches is prohibited now. People are violating the rules every now and then, and they're sitting on the benches in the park and at our neighbourhood playground, but i don't want to follow their example tbh. Better safe than sorry. The same people (with kids) have overloaded kids' playgrounds, which doesn't help the situation with covid prevention,- you know what i'm talking about. I still have my seat-cane with me, but i try not to sit on it, in order to avoid damaging its rubber details, because it's impossible to go to the city and buy new rubber details at that shop of rehabilitation goodies. So i'm trying to be frugal.
