It's been a while since my last post. Here's the update. I'm walking with 2 sneakers, yes that's 2! Finally. I'm able to walk without the crutches, but with a limp. I carry one around with me just in case I need it. Sort of like a safety net. I suspect I will abandon the 1 crutch within the next week or 2. I'm feeling great, almost human again. I can walk up with the stairs with no problem, but down I still walk like a toddler. That's because my range of motion is limited in my left ankle and prevents me from decelerating (slowing down) to the next step. I took hip hop on Saturday standing! Lets not get carried away though. I could stand up. I do the first half of resistance training standing, but the combo I still need to sit. I tried standing but my brain would not connect with my foot. In order to stimulate my nervous system, I sit down and mimic the legs, but do the arms full out. I'm so close! I never thought I'd be back in the studio this fast. It just goes to show you that if you stay active and keep in shape, you'll heal faster.
