baby steps forward... with matching shoes!

On Friday I went to physio and with a doctors note basically saying I can progress as quickly as my body will allow. This being established with my physiotherapist, I was told to put my right running shoe on... I was actually wearing a matching pair of shoes! Seems like a small thing, but in my head it is pretty huge! I then walked around with the aid of crutches for about 2 minutes perfecting my new gait and then trying it between parallel bars. This is something new that I can practice at home. I also walked around my apartment and cleaned it today without crutches. I am not going to lie, I am really tired now... but being tired in a clean apartment is quite a nice feeling! Hopefully I will be able to walk without crutches or the aircast soon and look like a normal person... I mean I don't mind the stares but it is getting to be annoying, three months of questions and sad stares start to get to you... I would just for once like someone to smile at me or just say hi without asking me questions about my bum ankle... yes I am starting to get jaded by this whole experience...
