NO MORE CRUTCHES!!!!!
Doc wants me to walk around, ( don't really think that he meant getting back to it by hiking Chicago this weekend, but oh well, what's done is done) and the only therapy I have to do is on my own!! I can go back to working at the country club when they open in March -- this is a big deal, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to. So here is my YAY after my depressing post last night. That and my son absolutely adored the fire engine hat I brought him from our trip and I feel much refreshed after three days out of state. Definitely came at a good time.
Thank you all for your T's and P's. There is a cycle to life, that's all. The last three years have been the baby booms, so this was coming soon. And cmkuno - it's not that I think there is something wrong with the JOP, I just wanted to have everyone join us for our celebration, and a JOP with a dinner at a restaurant is about the only thing I would be able to afford or put together on super short notice, if it came down to it.
