That was not fun

Due to injuring myself by spraining my left leg I have been largely immobile for the last two weeks. Now I can finally hobble about on crutches a bit, not as good as before but it is rapidly getting there. I have a few minor twinges of pain. I can put full weight on both legs. A few more days and I will be a lot better.

A bit of a weird thing is I am gaining sensation in my feet. My feet got slammed hard in the accident and were purple from bruising from the ankle to the ends of my toes. I really was amazed none of the bones in my feet were broken. Trying to walk when your feet feel numb is weird. After many months I have been regaining sensation. Now the numbness is only in my toes and I expect that to improve. I have have nights where it is hard to get to sleep due to my feet aching.

There might have been a silver lining to this. Not doing hardly anything for the last two weeks and having rest forced upon me I believe has been beneficial. I think it was good to give my body an extended rest, especially the legs. I have been going a little crazy from cabin fever but I will take care of that soon enough.

I have an appointment with a rehabilitation specialist on October eighth and I am looking forward to that. I have been told he is good and it is over two hours. Now if I can just have a break from negative things happening to me . . .
