No More Crutches

I ditched the crutches this weekend. I had gone down to one after coming back from the dr check-up in Nashville. Then Fri at physical therapy he told me to get rid of the other one. He said I really wasn't putting much weight on the crutch. I think I was more dependant on it later in the day. So I went to church yesterday without one and I survived the day. I can't really stand for a real long time or walk for a long time but that will come. I notice that I start to limp a little bit more as the day goes on too. Today I had to go to the grocery store for a few things. I was probably there about 20 mins. I was tired when I got done. Maybe just a little sore but not too bad.

Learning to Walk

I kinda feel like I'm learning to walk again. I've been using one crutch around the house for the past week and yesterday went out with just one. With that progress, I tried walking a few times here and there around the house some without any crutches. I didn't do much at a time. I could tell that my leg was shaky the first few times. I didn't feel like I was going to fall or it give out or anything - just shaky. It's gotten better as I've walked a few more times. I can't do a whole lot of walking at one time without it feeling sore. Progress is coming...
