Post-Op Day # 62 - Wobble Wobble!

Well today was a very good day because I did a bunch of my stretches with my foot and it felt really good.
I was able to SORT OF WALK(er wobbled) a few steps without my crutches today~ YAHOO! It was amusing because it's not pretty to watch, very odd because I can't really put the foot totally flat yet but can use the toes/ball of the foot to take enough pressure to push off so I can sort of take a step.
My knee can't straighten out either so its super bent when I "walk" -- I'm such a gimp, I'm wobbling my way to health! hah

I'm very excited, this is just the beginning of getting off my crutches finally and I know Dr. Chi will be happy to hear this when I go this coming Thursday for my appointment. If this keeps up I should be able to walk without them all the time in a week or two -- can't wait to put the crutches in the garage. haha!

After excitement I thought I better get some packing done so I'm not doing it last minute tomorrow morning. :-) We leave at 3pm tomorrow and get in around 6:15pm to Victoria - my mom is picking us up.

We've planned a BBQ on Sunday so we can have some friends over, the weather is supposed to be good too(about 22c). I'm not sure who's all coming but I invited the regular crew. haha! I'll try to take some pictures on Sunday if I get a chance.


After I got most of my packing done I head to the barn for a bit -- I watched Julie ride Hollywood and work on some desensitizing exercises with a pop bottle. Hollywood was quite afraid of it at first but by the end was good.

I left and went to North Bend to pick up a small thing of milk and whipped home to rest up. I still have some packing to do but not much. Need to have a shower, do my nails, get the cats stuff organized for the days we're not here and then chill.

It's almost time to take my 7.5mg of Warfarin.

I probably won't be able to update this for a few days so enjoy the weekend and I'll write when I can.

Take care and thanks for checking in
