It feels odd to write about the anniversary of my accident, just after I wrote a post about safety. It's sort of ironic don't you think?
December 13th 2017, was the day I fell down the stairs, and broke my lower left leg in 4 places. It's a day I want to forget, but I'm still living with the consequences. I've gone from a walker, to crutches, to using a cane, back to crutches, back to the cane, and finally no walking aids at all. I'm still limping just a bit, so I walk slow, I'm trying to retrain my muscles to do the job they're supposed to do.
Wrangell usually has a freeze/thaw cycle during the winter. This makes for icy docks, and parking lots. I bought a pair of hiking poles with sharp tips so that I won't slip, and fall. When I use them, I might look like I'm an active hiker. I know it isn't true, but it helps with my self esteem.
I'm very faithful with my water aerobics attendance, and recently I started a weight training class. I might have over done it this week, judging by the soreness in my legs. I need to remind myself to take it slow, even though it's been a year, patience will win in regaining strength, and over exuberance will result in additional harm.
Bill always says that injuries will be amputated, so in order to keep all of my pieces parts attached, I'm planning no repeat performances.
