Baby Steps....or things I did today that I'm not really supposed to?

I seriously need to learn how to walk. I need to figure out how to move my left foot in front of my right. I have no problem dragging it to meet the right...but I cannot seem to get it to move ahead, like a step. I know it's a mental block...but seriously? I'm just about 40, and I can't walk. Am I going to be a gimp forever? Because that will suck and I cannot fathom the thought of Nanner following me around with that God Damned flip for the rest of my life. Although, I must say...I enjoy standing erect (yes, I said "erect". Enter penis joke, here...geesh) and not having to sit in rolly chair all day....but this walking thing....Holy Hell. Dr Bone wants me to wean myself off of crutches in the next 2 weeks...actually, 12 days....yes, I'm counting...wouldn't you?

So, I tried walking with one crutch...that didn't work. This stupid air cast/boot makes my right leg 3" taller than the other. So, not only I'm a gimp...I'm a limpy gimp. Yes, I said that...and yes, that's funny. I thought I would just bi-pass the one crutch thing and go straight to walking...but that's not working, either....so, if any of you readers have any advice....think about what you are going to type, mull it over in your head that I will not mock you, and THEN type it into the comment box at the end of this post....I will not accept anything that includes the following: be patient, it takes time, or stop whining...

Ok, so like the BEST part of the day...is that I took Andy's beemer for a drive around the neighborhood...uh huh...I DROVE!!!! For the first time in 4 months....4 MONTHS! Can you believe that shit? I drove. I can use my elephant foot on the accelerator and I brake with my left foot. I don't have the real hang of it quite yet...so you may not want to follow me! I'm thinking I am going to sneak over to McDs to get a Diet Coke before I DRIVE myself to a meeting...ha ha...did you catch that? DRIVE. MYSELF. Hot Damn! Holy Shit! Oh, should I mention Dr Bone said not to drive for 2 weeks? Ok, 12 days....but who's counting?
