Staring at the wall
Beckett Gladney
It has been six weeks since I destroyed the top of my left tibia. Still not allowed to put any weight on the leg, so I'm hopping about with a walker and using a wheelchair.
I'm just now being allowed to start with crutches, though honestly I really suck at them. Never used to have trouble balancing, but somehow this leg thing has been harder than the various other times I've been laid up and it's been a hard road so far.
I've been spending a fair amount of time staring at the walls and looking out the window instead of walking, and I confess to being insanely jealous of people walking around on two legs like it's no big deal. The limitations of not being able to put weight on the affected leg has been a real eye-opener, both in terms of just normal getting around, daily functioning as well as in how other people react to me and treat me. Thank god for my wonderful friends and my supportive family. I can't imagine how we'd be managing without all of their help.
