The doctor gave me the verdict last week that I can "wean" away from the crutches. He said I am mostly healed, and that I should take it easy for a month. Meaning no running or anything crazy...
He told me that I should start out slow--like walking at home. I looked at him and laughed--and said, "I've already been walking at home." So, my version of weaning was to just walk out of the clinic! Ha!
I took the crutches back today! And what a happy day! I'm still waiting for the feeling to come back into my pinkies from having used crutches...but hopefully in time it will...
So here's for recovery! Yay!
To celebrate my recovery--I went to the gym tonight and biked because I'm allowed to do that. I biked 4 miles in 30 minutes. Sad day--I dropped a lot of distance in my time--but I figure for being a gimp--that is good!
Hopefully I can continue to improve it! If you know any strengthening exercises for my leg, please let me know!
