No, I haven't run off to join the Peruvian Army....LOL! But, I am happy to report I had some very good recovery milestones
that all happened yesterday….
1) I got my stitches
out!
2) I am now off
all antibiotics (and have been off pain meds for a couple weeks)
3) I started physical
therapy again
4) I switched from
crutches to a cane (the kind with an arm support)
Now before you get too overjoyed with my wonderfully triumphant story of
overcoming the odds, I have to tell you the whole thing feels a bit more like a
setback than anything because it is terribly hard to walk with the cane. In fact, it is significantly harder to walk
with the cane than with the crutches. It
should get better in as soon as a few days, I’m told, but for now, it’s really
difficult and rather daunting. It's all part of the physical therapy process, though, so even that is good....I guess. :(
The great news is that, overall, things are definitely going
very much in the right direction, so I’m just trying to focus on that and
ignore the fact that I can barely limp half a block with my new cane. I shaved my beard off because it was kind of
gray and I was feeling too much like an old man hobbling around with my cane. LOL! The other good news is that, because of the crutches and
all, my upper body is getting kinda buff (well….buff for li’l ‘ol me, that is).
;)
Here's the before picture (with beard):
Here's the after pic (clean shaven):
So, my plan is to kick ass on my physical therapy and my
goal is to be walking on my own looking like a sexy mofo by my birthday on June 23 (or at least very soon after).
