I'm a little off, but back on.

Yeah so I think I have been pissed long enough and I am going to try and post a more chipper update. That's not so hard is it?
So the cast is finally off! I have been walking on my own 2 feet for almost a week now and that feels very strange. It feels like my left leg is just along for the ride. It just kinda flops around. Especially since I have no feeling or motion in my great toe from the nerve damage. You know... the captain of the toes. I have no captain. It does do a cool trick and turns blue in about 2 minutes of dependency though. 

                                              

 I must say, it is a very painful experience and a little more so than I had prepared for. I also have a huge difference in my leg sizes. Especially my left calf, it measures 11.5 inches and the right is 15 inches around. That's a little off. Good news is that my back is feeling mucho better, thank goodness. The best news of all is that I have been back on the bike! It is a weird feeling, but after 3 rides it is starting to get familiar again. I am not able to clip out so I have some sweet BMX platform pedals on there right now. Getting back to the roots!
                                                          

Hopefully in the next couple weeks I will be stable enough to venture away from the trainer and go outside into the big world. Until then, Anne and I will be watching the ToC on the trainers.
