Sometimes one wants to talk about the bad things, sometimes one doesn't. Do what you need to do. I'll hug you all the same.
New computer, too! Yow! This is too nice. On top of the living room clean-up, which I know was a major item on your mental list for a very long time, and -- whoa, the new refrigerator is there too? Great! So, the door will stay shut on its own, now? Always a good thing.
Moving with a limp is an experience that can't be described very well to someone who has never had to do it. It may not be that each step brings pain, nor that each step exposes the weakness of some part of that leg or foot, or then again it might be -- but the fact remains, for right now, that is how you walk. The thing to try to do is not to let your body get used to doing that, or when the ankle does strengthen and regain more flexibility, it might try to keep being favored. You will find this out on your own, I know. Or Debbie will tell you. I bet she'll be impressed with your progress, by the way!
More hugs. For whatever it is. I don't have to know. Love you.
