Weeks 8 and 9...

It's been a little while since I posted last. Basically last week was a lot of new strength exercises to hopefully get me off the crutches. I graduated from two crutches to one. And I saw my friends get married and was able to enjoy my night despite still being on one crutch. It was a beautiful wedding and I'm so happy for Brett, who is like my fourth older brother, and Lindy, who is a good friend!! 

It's now the beginning of week 9. I am still on one crutch but I feel stronger and stronger every day. I'm working on doing steps/ stairs normally, but I still have to take it slow to make sure I don't hurt myself in the process. The goal going into week 10 is to walk on my own and drive! I can't wait to drive again! Seriously I didn't realize how much I enjoy driving! Late last week, around Friday or so, I kinda got really down on myself. I felt bad because I'm not walking in my own yet and I can tell I lost a lot of strength in my leg. But after a little pep talk from my aunt and from Ryne, I definitely started to feel better about myself. The goal is to be healthy. It doesn't happen overnight, it happens from continuous hard work. I just have to keep working hard and everything will get better. I hope to update soon with more good news! My next post op is in August. By then I should be walking and driving and hopefully ready to go back to school.
