Yes, today, for me, is Independence Day! The cast was removed this afternoon I now have a lovely boot that makes me two inches taller (on one side, lol), but I am WALKING! I am NO MORE! I so looked forward to this day, and to walking on two feet again and I have to admit, it freaking hurts like hell! But I don't care, I was able to go downstairs to the kitchen, heat some soup and bring it back upstairs without anyone helping me. I went to the store carried my purchases all by myself to the register! I still have at least a month of physical therapy, but that's ok. There is so much dry and dead skin on my foot and leg, it's really gross, but now I can scratch it all away, hee hee. I've already taken my PedEgg to my narly looking heel and scraped some away. I never thought I would say this, but I'm excited that tomorrow I get to and lots of . I can shower (as soon as I wash some towels, for some reason the kid didn't see a need to do those) AND shave my legs (the hair is long enough on them that I can see it without my glasses, and that's pretty bad. Granted, it will be a while before I can but it won't be long before I can again! All just in time for the next big snow storm they are predicting this weekend. No sleigh riding or skiing for me, but when I go outside, there won't be frozen toes either!
