Look-Out, World!

I saw my orthopedic surgeon yesterday afternoon.     He said I could begin using 25% of my overall body weight on the cast, still supporting myself with the crutches -- but w-a-l-k-i-n-g!     Of course, I can't just immediately begin to over-do anything, and I have to continue wearing the cast for another month, but . . . I have his permission to walk (some).     My next question to him was -- of course -- what about driving?     He said that -- I can . . . I have to remove the cast to drive, but I have to replace the cast and use the crutches upon exiting the car.     But, I CAN DRIVE!     Of course, he said no long trips or anything . . . just quick zip-trips . . . and, not every day!     But, I am no longer "stuck" waiting on someone else to help me.     I am *NOT* someone who is comfortable having to ask anyone else for anything . . .

After the appointment, my s.o. took me to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner.     I haven't been to Ruby Tuesday's since we moved from D.C. last September.     I had shrimp pasta alfredo, and it was yum, yum, yummy.     After that, he "surprised" me with a visit to the nail salon.     I am now -- once again -- a girly-girl!     I had a manicure and pedicure, and have beautiful, bright, virgin-pink polish on my hands and feet!

I telephoned my stylist, David today . . . and I have an appointment next Tuesday to have my hair done . . . FINALLY!     That will be a big boost, too!     After a couple of weeks (or so) of using my body weight with the cast and walking, I'm heading back to the gym, too.     Of course, the treadmill will be out of the question still, but . . . the weight machines will be a welcomed addition to my days, for sure -- not that those crutches weren't an upper body workout, but . . . I think something more specifically designed for upper body conditioning will be better.

Just knowing that I'm not 'stuck' is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G feeling!     Who knows?     I just might have those 4" lace-up heels on before Summer's end . . .
