i had another ortho check-up today, and now i'm allowed to bear some weight on my leg again! baby steps. it is hardly walking, but it is something. and they gave me a cane i can use in a couple weeks, which is neat. i will finally be able to, say, buy a cup of coffee and bring it to class. i really miss normal things like that.

in preparation for transferring my records to the university hospital where i'll have my physical therapy starting next monday, i had to go pick up a disk of my xrays today. so here are some xrays for you:


7/11/06, evening of the accident.


9/6/06, at my previous check-up. best view of all the hardware.

also, i can now feel around by the scars and actually feel where the metal is, under the skin. mainly i can feel the screw heads, maybe the edge of the long bracket. it is a very weird sensation.

that must feel, well, strange.

quite alien. also, i keep thinking about how it can injure me from the inside, like bruising the very thin layer of skin right on top of it. ick. also, i had assumed they would plane the metal down so it sat flush with the bone -- no such luck.

hopefully some of the sensation will disappear.

yes, hopefully :)

off topic:
but tonight, i was walkind with heather and megan and you came up somehow. Anyway, i said that i really wanted to add you to my flist (and have for a while) and did m think you would mind? she didnn't think you would and i liked reading your zine and sending you the occasional letter and well, finding friends out of unexpected situations, et cetera. So i hope you will welcome my add and maybe be my lj letterpress rollerderby rockstar friend

aw. i am flattered to be a topic of conversation among three such beautiful girls! i would be flattered to have you on my friendslist, and i look forward to reading you -- i should confess that in the past, i have often clicked past your journal to read whatever public things were up, but now i won't have to remember to do so :)
