Nine Weeks

Today has been nine weeks since I came home from the hospital and have been on crutches. 11 more days until I get the cast off.

I struck up a conversation with a soccer dad at the game Tuesday night. He broke his leg in a motorcycle accident 12 weeks ago. He's in a walking boot but still has crutches. He walks slowly with his crutches and boot, putting a little weight on his broken leg. So when I get my cast off, I may be walking again but actually may be slower to get around without crutches. Also, I may not be able to ditch the crutches right away. I think I'm getting up too many hopes. I better settle for slow progress.
