Absolutely beautiful outside — delightfully sunny, nicely breezy and only just slightly chilly with all the excess humidity of the past summer months completely vanished. I had no idea Dallas weather could be so spot-on perfect. After hiding away in the condo throughout July, August and September, I can actually walk around outside and enjoy my surroundings without feeling like I’m going to die from heat prostration.
I have no idea how long this type of weather lasts here, but I’m going to enjoy it to its fullest while I can. Everyone else in the neighborhood seems to have the same idea — there are groups of people chatting away outside the coffee shop, individuals strolling with their dogs, children playing in the development’s small park area, shoppers walking in and out of the nearby stores. During the summer months, it was highly unusual to see even one other person on the sidewalks.
The BF is in Oklahoma today for one of his last fittings for his new Ossur Proprio Foot. See the video below for an introduction to the beginnings of real bionic technology for the masses.
He said he might be bringing it home today for testing, and I’m excited to see how it operates and the difference it will make in the way he walks and moves in his daily life. There’s so much discomfort and awkwardness of movement he endures with the prosthesis he presently wears — here’s hoping that technology has finally caught up to prosthetics in a meaningful way.
