CASTAWAY!!!

29 APRIL 2007

The day the I was released from the plastic "ball & chain" around my left ankle.

When my left calve was revealed, it was pathetically puny and wrinkled. All those layers of dry skin that wasn't allowed to shed whilst in captivity. and my skin took on the pattern of the cotton sock which was the inner lining of the cast.

After an X-ray, the doc said that I was good to go and I was running around barefoot on ony leg. In anycase, I wasn't going to use the shoe since I was not walking on it til I saw the physiotherapist.

I went the physiotherapy ward and had an appointment at 1530 later on the same day and the physiothrapist was a really sweet girl who was quite chatty. She taught me some moves.. and made me feel slightly better. The dead skin on my leg began to shed on the workout bed and it looked gross. I was leaving a trail of my DNA everywhere. The exercises made the swelling go down on the foot look less bruised. I have to do more of those everyday. THREE times a day. I feel like a baby. Learning to walk again.
