Yes! It was good news, my fracture was well on the way to healing and I was allowed to start walking. My calf and thigh was pretty wasted and my ankle was stiff. That was one week and 6 days ago. Walking was very difficult at first but taking those first steps without my crutches gave me such a good feeling. It took me a few days to get over my instinctual reaction of reaching for my crutches to get up and walk around. Right now I've still got a slight limp but my walking has improved heaps and seems to get better everyday. I've been warned to hold of the full return to activity for another 4 weeks. I'm even doing the annual Pedometer Challenge and I can see how my steps over the days have progressively increased as I've improved.
So I've started back at circus again, training two nights a week and teaching two nights a week. I'm just about to head off to do some laps in the pool. I haven't exactly got a show to train for at the moment but things tend to pop up without much warning so it's good to keep fit and conditioned so that I'm prepared for anything!
