Today I went to the doctor, who gave me the ok for driving! So naturally the first thing I did was get into my car the second I got home. The battery was dead, but after a jump start, I was back in action. I'm also able to put half my body weight on my left hip now. Let me tell you, it feels so WEIRD to use the bad leg now. The muscles have no idea what I want them to do, so they just kinda spaz out in different directions. It's a wonderful feeling to see some real progress now :)
The (almost) bad news is that the doctor has delayed my full weight bearing status by another 3 weeks, which means I can only try walking without the crutches in 6 weeks. Frustrating, but I'll survive.
In other news, I've decided that I'm going to start a second blog after I learn to walk again. It'll only involve culinary stuff, mainly experiments and how they turn out (with recipes), so until then, you'll all have to survive on whatever it is you all eat anyway. (that last part made more sense in my head..)
EDIT: And on a side note, I stood up today without the help of the crutches for the first time :)

Hey hobo
I'm so glad to hear that you're able to drive! Don't worry-3 weeks will be here before you know it!
That dish looks absolutely gorgeous! Daniel and I attempted to make sushi tonight...more delicious than pretty...I need to work on my presentation!
What is that food thing there? I am interested to know. Tell me.
Also, hurray for working legs. It is the weirdest feeling to use a leg after a while of not. And the atrophy is hard work to rid yourself of. You can do it!
I'm excited for a culinary blog. I love trying out new recipes, especially when they work.
Well, I didn't caption the bunnies. I just liked it. Lots. :3
