Funny you mention that because it never occurred to me to look for one of
those carts to shop after my foot surgery. I just ordered home delivery.
Even after a week it's hard to walk but I do it because I want it to heal.
Moving it is the only thing that's going to do that. Sure hurts, though,
even running into the store yesterday for a few things I needed.
