Walking Tall

I was cleared to walk today as much as I can tolerate. I am ditching the wheelchair, crutches and boot from hell. I have a new small brace to wear over socks with regular shoes which will be sneakers and other flat shoes for a few months at least. I don't do heels much to begin with, but even little ones won't work for a while. No biggie. But I might have to do some shoe shopping. It was so nice to park where I used to and walk into work this morning with nothing but a cane to help me. I feel so tall now that up walking totally upright again after spending so much time in the wheelchair or hunched with crutches. The surgeon left my physical therapy schedule up to me. I've got approval for 2x per week for 6 weeks, but I've only scheduled 4 more appointments and may only do the first two to get exercises and find out what exercise equipment I can use at the gym at work. That I can use for free. I was so happy when I left the doctor's office I would have done cartwheels if I could! It snowed here today, but that quickly turned into rain and since it warmed up into the 40s the soon did not last long. It is supposed to be in the 60s by the weekend! I hope this was winter's last gasp today.
