Today I didn't have any pain in my leg. I felt some discomfort, some stiffness, and a little awkwardness (but less of each than yesterday) but nothing I would call pain. Hooray! It's been five weeks since the accident, and my healing has followed the most linear progression of anything I've ever done. With the significant exception of the one day three weeks ago when I squatted and undid all my progress, every day has been better than the day before. Amazing! Today I used the stairs to go both up and down, no elevator at all. I walked at something like a normal pace and with something like a normal gait. I really couldn't be happier. And I actually felt happy today, not just tired. There is much still to do, but I feel like I'm in a good place, physically.
I turned the heel on a sock for Benjamin. This is also good news. I was about two inches from finishing the pair when I finally saw him and had him try on the finished sock. Too tight. Grr! so I'm now on the foot portion (finished the gusset too) of the first sock again, and I'm ready to push forward and get them done. The only thing slowing me down is the ribbing. I decided to make his socks ribbed, so the foot is half ribbed and half not. I make mistakes at both transition points. But then I fix them. These socks are from a pretty sock yarn that's mostly green with dark blue and magenta in it. I really like it and it gets lots of comments. I hope he likes to wear them when they're done!
