Did I ask for it?

You know what? Maybe I did...
Reflecting on my New Year's Resolutions, I resolved to

1. Clean up my messy area
2. Spend more time with family and friends
3. Rest more
4. Exercise more
5, Save more money

So there I have it. All of it. Well, I think it's an unfortunate break for me. And still looking on the bright side, I have accomplished most of my resolutions this year - I could hardly say that of other years.

Plus, there's this really incriminating photo that is hanging on my wall. It was framed sometime last year. I hung it up only this year, the weekend, prior to the flight to Sydney. It's hanging above my couch, I had wanted to take a picture of me sitting on my couch with my cast, with this picture in the background, but I never got down to it.



So anyway, here are the updates, At the last visit, the physiotherapist and I took a stroll around the "Gym" and she said that I was walking ok. If it didn't hurt, she told me to walk without the crutches, only bringing them along with me when I go out - in case I tire from walking.

However, sometimes my leg aches and I walk like a baby who's learning to walk; with an unsure and unsteady gait. But that's fine - I limp slowly around the house - comforted by the fact that I am slowly gaining independence.

I've also been given more exercises to do, at last count - 11 exercises, 3 times a day - that's almost 1.5 hours each time - but well, I do have all the time in the world to do them and the incentive is, if I don't do them, my leg aches and I can't walk on it comfortably.

So.... it's back to exercise time!
