I can walk again! [View all]

Except my leg is weak and really jerky. 44 days of hopping on one leg can make you feel like Frankenstein. "It's alive!" So basically I'm still on the walker and I'm going to physical therapy for a bit. Then I get a cane. Then I'm back to normal sort of. I'll be riding a unicycle before you know it!

Also got an eye exam and I have contacts now. I can see my face again! I forgot how long my nose was. And wow, I can see road signs again.
