The latest news on my broken leg
I saw my doctor on Tuesday; he says again that my leg is healing quite nicely and told me to stop using the crutches, buy a cane and use that ( although I’ll likely stop using it because I don’t need it in two or three weeks ), and start physical therapy.
Here are my xrays. As I’m sure you can see, everything is coming along great. Note in particular how the bones look, um, less broken.
So, I did all that. The cane was $24; I selected an all aluminum adjustable one because I wasn’t quite sure how “tall” of a cane I should use, and I also wanted one with a bit of padding on the grip because I’m still having a bit of numbness in my left hand caused, I think, by being on the crutches for two plus months. My other alternative was a real wood / walnut cane that would have been great to shake at and yell “Get off my lawn you horrible kids!”.
Just so he gets the mad props, here’s my doctor up here. Turns out he’s a big Survivor fan, same as Loretta and I, but we couldn’t really talk about this season much because Loretta and I are five weeks behind. They’re all spooled up on the Tivo.
