normal
physio was good. i told j-sub that i was feeling discouraged about 100% weight bearing. he was like yah it is a big jump. don't worry we can do somewhere between 75 and 100. like maybe 85. but then he was like but let me see you walk. and i did. and he pumped me up. he was like that's pretty good actually! and the whole time he pumped me up. look how much faster you are walking already, jassoo b. would say. he had me doing squats and all sorts of things. and i did them all. sometimes i would scoff at him when he showed me a new exercise. but then i did it.
he was saying i should walk longer distances and carry the crutch in case i need it. then he daid "like when you go grocery shopping" and i scoffed big time. he thinks i can grocery shop?? haha. come on now jaytsubb.
but anyways i left feeling more confident and i haven't used the crutch since. i can go up and down the stairs too. today i did it twice. and wslked around the corner to the statt of three red siding and back. it still hurts at varying degrees and I'm popping tylenol again. but jasoobi said i can't injure it in the boot. so i go for it.
i hope i turn the corner soon and this gets easier.
today after work i sat outside listening to podcasts and finally deadheaded petunia. she's needed it for weeks. she's a bit more perky now. that felt normal. i also scooped the litter box. so normal!
