crooked foot
another month, another appt. a very exciting appointment. this was my 4 month mark. FOUR MONTHS! on crutches, hopping on one foot, driving with hand controls. that's a long time.
i had the recurring fantasy over the last 4 months. a fantasy that included the magic words, "ok, you can now put weight on your foot". and i believed that this would be a truly happy moment.
so i gingerly put my foot down, and slowly, slidy and creak creaky all of my 125 odd pounds on one foot. then i as i took a few more steps, and started crutch-walking down the hall my ankle hurt, my knee hurt and suddenly non-weightbearing seems like a better solution.
i need to get my fantasy / reality relationship i litte more in line.

You'll be feeling much better soon. Physical therapy will do wonders. I remember the frustration when I took my leg out of an imobilizer after three months and realized that I could not bend my right leg at all. Within a few weeks, I was running.
Keep your chin up, it gets better from here.
