Walking!

So after 6 long weeks I can start to walk! Ok, so I'm using crutches, but I'm thrilled to be able to move around and use both feet. I've been day-dreaming about walking this past week (the way you might dream about lying on a beach in the depths of winter). I tell you that this whole experience makes me appreciate something that I so took for granted.

The doctor is pleased with my ROM and wants me to take it up a notch to increase my ROM to 97 degrees (I'm at 90, with tears in my eyes). He also said that there was some arthritis in the joint, but nothing out of the ordinary for someone who has had a bunion for many years. That is good news too!
