what a difference a month makes

4 weeks actually, but the human body is an amazing thing. These pics aren't nearly as gruesome as one month ago (I didn't embed them so save the weak hearted):

Today I buy a cane to get around. The left leg is weak and too much pressure on it hurts the knee, but I'm supposed to get away from the crutches per the doc. I still can't bend my knee very far, and don't want to try until the wound closes up a bit more. I had to cancel trips next week to DC and the week after to Utah because I can't bend my leg enough to fit in a seat (I barely have enough leg room when I have flexibility). Still hurts though, especially with much knee motion.

Onward and upward. We'll see how long it takes to ditch the crutches for the cane, then the cane for just walk/limp. I'll likely still have bandages/dressings on the wound after losing the crutches/cane. I still have a goal of doing a race clinic in Dec...
