i did it!!!

I finally got up and started walking today. I'm doing little at a time. This Sunday Dr. Wants me at 50%. I'm glad I'm finally doing it..
Right now I'm icing the foot is a little swollen from doing some walking.

Well Done!!
Just take it one step at a time (pun intended).
I remember when I was going from NWB to WBAT to FWB - interesting time. Just do what you can and stop when you need to - and elevate and ice.
I was just happy to get rid of the crutches

WTG GIRL!! Most important thing to remember is listen to your body. It will tell you when you've done too much. Keep it up!!!

Thanks guys!! I'm going to walk as much as possible today I can do this!!

You're right! You can do it! You have the right attitude. There are going to be days that you can't do as much as you think you should be able to but that is expected. Just do what you can that day and know that you will do more tomorrow.

Bravo, Erin! You are going to surprise yourself over the next few days, I think. Remember to warm up gradually, kind of ease into the pain. Keep it up, be careful (don't fall all the time like I do) and rest when you need to. Most of all, be very, very proud of yourself. The family and friends don't always get what a big deal it is, but we do. Big "atta girl" for you! Yay!

I agree with Ginger. A lot of times those around us have no idea what big steps we are making. It is exciting and you have every right to be proud of what you're doing! Great job!
