Almost there, almost able to move normally already. It's kind of amazing to think it's happening this quickly, because at the beginning it felt like it was taking so long. Now the last few weeks are a complete blur. I guess that's what happens when you spend the vast majority of your time in the same place doing the same thing over and over again. Soon this will be like most things in life- a memory to look back on, with the specific details harder and harder to recall.
There's still soreness and difficulty with movement, but it's night and day over where it was even 2 weeks ago. I haven't used crutches in maybe 3 weeks, and the brace was officially put away today. I haven't actually used it in about that long either, actually. Walking is no problem, though trying to do it for any extended period of time is pretty difficult. I have a feeling that given my job description, it might take a little longer for me to return than most people. If I had a desk job I'd already be working again and feeling productive.
I mentioned this before, but it's just so funny how your body completely adapts to its current circumstances so easily. As soon as this whole thing is over, I'll just be back up and at 'em as if nothing had ever happened, but right now at this point I can't do hardly anything and my body's totally cool with that too. My brain is a different story, but for the most part it hasn't been that bad lately. Just have to find things to do that feel productive and worthwhile amid the mounds of unproductive wasted time.
5 weeks down, 19 to go. It's almost seeming like it might be over someday now. For awhile there it seemed like this would just be my life in perpetuity.
