Dream Big

Today was a big day for me. I went in for my 6 week post-op visit with Dr. Barrow and he gave me the go ahead to start walking in my big walking boot! I am so happy to ditch those darn crutches and be mobile again!

I have to say, this whole experience has really given me a new appreciation for those who cannot walk. After not being able to for 6 weeks, I really see how debilitating it can be and how much we really rely on our feet for our day to day activities and getting around. I also have an appreciation for handicap bathroom stalls and will definitely think twice before using one in the future now that I know how great they are when you're "handicap". I would be so humiliated to walk out of one, only to realize someone in a wheelchair is waiting to use that stall!

So, I'm excited to be up and at it again. I'm thinking I'll celebrate my new freedom tomorrow by walking the two blocks to the bus stop and taking the STA downtown...dream big!
