Up and at 'em

Well, it's official.... I can now use my foot. Today is the day that the surgeon gave me the official go ahead to start weight bearing on my leg! I have to admit though, that I was cheating and had been using the foot on and off since last Friday.

But today, I literally gave up my walker for the crutches and never looked back! Who would have thought that today could have felt like such freedom, but it did! I was able to get out of the house much easier and I even went grocery shopping to No Frills with my husband, Bryssa and Selena. Hard to believe this is the first time I have been in the grocery store for over a month. We also made a stop through Timmy's for a coffee (I have missed my Timmy's) and then we made a quick stop in Giant Tiger.

It felt so good to get out and be in the real world once again.

Now I am looking forward to the next month or so, and being able to throw away my crutches and cast. I'm pretty sure I will have to wear an ankle brace for most of the spring and summer, but I can live with that!

I feel so good today.... now all I need is some sunshine and warm weather.
