great to be on two feet!

Hi Karen,
Just got back on Finlander, and read your news. Really sympathize!
Please take it easier than you think you should. A friend has had 18 months of problems because she thought the bone should be mending faster, so she pressed it into walking more than prescribed. She's in education, and knew they couldn't get along without her.
Watch out for too much sisu

Syrene,
Thanks for the message. I started out-patient physical therapy last week. Have had 2 sessions thus far. Can't belive what 3 months of inactivity can do to your strength and tolerance. I did what exercises I was allowed faithfully, but the left leg is quite weak as compared to the right. The therapist warned me not to overdo. I certainly don't want to set progress back by doing something "stupid." Much as I'd love to.
Karen
