It's been 8 months already!

Wow, I am amazed that on January 9, 2011 it will be 8 months since I broke my ankle. A lot has happened since the break. First, I met the love if my life. Since I broke my ankle at my mothers house, we were forced to chat and talk on the phone for 2 months before we got to meet in person. I truly believe that my break happened for a reason. It gave me time to slow down in my life and truly get to know someone special before jumping into the relationship. Not that I recommend meeting someone this way, but it was a great way for me.

Anyways, I was going to physical therapy, but, I was really frustrated with the fact that I was only being seen once every 2 weeks! I wanted to be seen daily or every other day for a faster recovery. However, Kaiser does not work that way. My Dorsey flection is very bad. I can move my ankle side to side with zero problems, but I cannot bend at my ankle. Stairs are a major challenge for me. This cold weather is another challenge for me. I used to be able to carry 90 pounds with no problems, but, now my ankle cannot support so much weight.

I used to dance and exercise everyday. Since the break and limited mobility on my ankle, I always feel like an animal that is chained to one leg. I need to force myself to begin exercising again. Regardless of the pain, it can only get better, right? I will keep you posted.
