About a week after my surgery I fell off a ladder.  It went one way, I went the other.  I landed on my feet (don't ask how, I don't know) but the leg of the ladder caught me in the shin.  I bruised right to the bone...it swelled up and turned black and blue in less than 10 minutes.  I've still got a bruise on the front of my shin and a hard knot on the side.  So, the reason I tell you this is that I haven't been able to go on the walks I planned to becuase it hurt to even step on it.  Today was the 1st time that I was able to.  At lunch I walked 3/4 mile at the local track and it felt GREAT!!!  I'm gonna go again tomorrow and and and and and and.....

I've been at a complete stall since surgery and I knew it was because I haven't been able to exercise (wanted to use my total gym but they told me NO at my two week checkup) so I've been limited. 

THIS FEELS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!
