Let the healing begin

Yesterday's post was the reflection of a bad mood. Best to get that off the top of the page. Don't get me wrong — I still mean it, it's just time for some better news.

This morning I visited my surgeon, Dr. Carr, for the first time since the surgery (four weeks ago today). Everything's healing great! He was really impressed with my range of motion and with the lack of swelling. He said I didn't really need my brace anymore and that I could put physical therapy on hold until I start walking again, in another two weeks. Also, I'll be able to have the screw removed sometime in December. So, two more weeks on crutches and I should be back to getting around on my own!
