I'm walkin'.... kinda

Yes, that's right kids, I'm walkin'.... in a boot. But it is still way better than a hard cast. In order to be in this boot cast instead of the hard walking cast my dr. wanted me in, I had to promise a few things. It has to stay on at all times, even when sleeping for at least 3 weeks, however it can be taken off for showers thankfully. I also have to wear it for 6 weeks instead of 3 weeks if I would have opted for the hard cast. I'm alright with all that as long as I don't have to have a cast on any longer.

The best part of the news is that I am graduating from grad school on Sunday, and thanks to my boot, I can walk across the stage to get hooded and receive my degree. Yeah!!! I wasn't looking forward to gimping across stage on crutches. I felt like Jimmy on South Park. "Thank You, you've been a great audience!"

Congrats on being mobile! Those walking boots are the greatest invention. Just knowing you can take it off for showering (or incase of massive itch) makes it well worth the extra few weeks of wearing it. Also, Congrats on graduating! I'm sure you are looking foreward to working a "real" job now...

Yeah! So glad you can walk through graduation!

I wish I could come to the PAR-TAY, but I can't sorry. We have to get together soon though!
