Since I am slowly weaning off the crutches I am forced to reflect on all the fun I have had these last 6 week. Having spent 3 of the last 15 months on crutches, there is a lot I am going to miss when I am healthy... some only slightly sarcastic.
- My armpits smelling like rubber.
- My crazy strong new triceps.
- People asking me why I don’t use one of those knee scooter things. Those are for ankles dumb @ss!
- My temporary disabled parking permit at the U.
- Eating standing up in the kitchen.
- Repeatedly falling up stairs.
- Having strangers at the gym tell me how bad @ss I am while working out on crutches.
- Feeling absolutely no guilt watching 10 Parks and Rec episodes in a row and re-reading all the Harry Potters.
- When I tell people I had hip surgery and they ask, “a hip replacement?” and then feeling awful about myself because I must look like I am 55.
- All the money I save at work by not frequenting the Starbucks because I can’t carry my own d@mn coffee.
AM: 15 minutes bike and morning hip drill PM: 20 minutes bike and evening hip drill
