Things move too fast sometimes.
I'm all about being a mover and a shaker. But eesshhh...TOO fast!
I'd prefer to get used to this walkin' around with this 'one crutch and no brace'.
And maybe that's the problem. No body wants me to get 'used to it'?
Dunno--but we went from non weight bearing, keep your brace in the locked position to one crutch with the brace and now one crutch without the brace. I KNOW they're gonna want me using some sort of cane by the end of the week. Oh wait.....that's today!
NO freaking way.
Seriously.
I can do my mile in 24 minutes. LOL I don't think that's record shattering. And I certainly don't wanna be slowing down--they're already glaring at me and drumming their fingers on the steering wheel as I hobble across the street. I haffta plan to be 10 minutes earlier than normal JUST so I can get to my destination 'on time' (30 minutes prior to start time--which, according to the world is WAY early to be early).
Face it--I'm SLOW.
And a cane will not make me faster. NOR will it make me any more confident at this point in time.
There. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
k....there might be a bit of fear in the mix, too.
But really. Today will be my 10th day back to the work site and I AM WIPED OUT TIRED.
So I've decided that's the physical therapy's fault. :-/
Oh.
AND I have a stupid cold.
OMG I'm sooooooooo glad it's Friday....

Oh dear, hope you can have a quiet weekend.
Hopefully pretty soon you will think of the cane as a confidence booster rather than an aid to walking or, better still, something to wave threateningly at those who drum fingers with impatience. Wishing you a peaceful weekend.

No doubt, Mel. I can only imagine what a HUGE adjustment it's been getting use to this.
But I gotta say, dear lady, you're doing faaaaaaaaaabulous! And will get better and better every single day!
