Lily Jones smiled encouragingly at her patient. “That’s it. You’ve
almost got it!”
Bettie Clyde, the seventy-five-year-old retired teacher who Lily
was currently working with, blew out her lips. “Blimey, this is hard work!
Whoever thought putting on a shoe would be so difficult!”

“It’ll get easier,” Lily replied. “This is just part of your rehab. We can’t
have you bending over too much right after your operation, can we?”
Bettie nodded and continued diligently working with the shoe horn.
Finally, she got the shoe over her foot and sat back, puffing a little. She’d
only been out of hospital a few days after her hip replacement and she was
doing remarkably well— even if she didn’t think so herself.
Lily clapped her hands together and grinned broadly. “You see! I said
you could do it!”
Bettie gave her a weak smile. “Aye, you did, but that’s only one of two.
Do I have to put the other one on now?”
Lily laughed. “No, I think you’ve done enough for today. What say we
go for a little walk to celebrate?”
Bettie snorted. “Walk? That would be a fine thing! I haven’t walked
properly in years!”
Lily flipped her chestnut braid over her shoulder as she knelt and began
putting on Bettie’s remaining shoe. “Well, if you continue progressing how
you are, you’ll be walking in no time. And I’m sure Teddy will be pleased
about that.”
Teddy, Bettie’s cute-faced little Airedale terrier, perked his ears up at the
mention of his name.
“Oh, you’ve done it now!” Bettie laughed. “We’ll get no peace!”
As if understanding every word his owner said, Teddy jumped down
from the couch and began dancing around Bettie’s wheelchair, wagging his
tail and barking excitedly.
Lily climbed to her feet. “All right, I give in! You can come too, Teddy.”
In short order she had Bettie bundled up in her coat, Teddy on his lead,
and her own long coat on over her uniform. It might be spring, but the
weather had been a bit chilly of late. She wheeled Bettie out of the back
door of her single-story house, through the arching garden gate, and along
the street towards the park.
As she gently pushed the wheelchair, Lily breathed in deeply of the
fresh spring air. She loved this time of year. It was so full of promise and
excitement, like anything was possible. The fresh green leaves were just
beginning to uncurl, and the gardens and parks were full of daffodil, crocus,
and sweet-smelling hyacinth.
The park was right at the end of Bettie’s street and it was busy with
children playing ball games and clambering on the climbing frames, people
walking their dogs, and joggers racing along the many paths. It seemed Lily
wasn’t the only one who’d decided to make the most of the bright spring
day.
She wheeled Bettie over to one of the benches and put the brake on her
wheelchair. Bettie unclipped Teddy’s lead and the little dog raced off,
happily sniffing through the flowerbeds and bushes, and wagging his tail
delightedly.
