3 legs bad, 2 legs good...

I went to the Doc this morning, and I'm finally off the crutches. It's really, really weird to be walking on two legs again. I keep reaching for the crutches every time I get up from a chair, and simple things like going up stairs are just strange... Still, I guess that will pass pretty quickly :-)

I'm allowed to start swimming and riding again, but walking (as in 'going for walks', not just 'walking around the house') is still off the agenda for a couple of weeks. Apparently, your bones get weaker when you don't load them, so after 6 weeks of no load, my bones need some loading before I start to hammer them again.

After that, it's back to the old walk/run routine, and when I'm up to running half an hour then I have to go back and see him in full running regalia so he can see if there's some underlying cause for the break (whenever anything goes wrong, it's always my right leg...).

Tiger angel's niggles continue their orbit around her body, but there's some good signs that things are starting to settle down again and the training is starting to pay off in better session results too. It's all good... :-)
