Au travail!

I was a little gun shy about putting weight on my right foot after Tuesday's experiment. It was awkward, painful, and very unsteady. I resorted to non weight bearing exercises for a couple of days and felt better on Thursday. Time for another attempt and I was feeling ambitious. I decided to visit my workplace on Friday afternoon for the annual "associate appreciation bbq" since my work mates would already be outside and I wouldn't have to brave the stairs to see them.

Or so I thought. The rain was just heavy and steady enough to force the bbq inside so nobody was waiting for me when we arrived. Well, we're here, might as well make an attempt at the half dozen stairs to get into the building - I could use the elevator and my knee scooter once inside. I had tottered my way down three stairs at the house and was none the worse for wear. I was pleasantly surprised at how well my progress went. It was slow going and awkward around doors but I made it inside fairly easily. I enjoyed a hearty welcome from my peeps and spent a fun 90 minutes in the office. Thanks folks!

I was quite sore and very exhausted when we got home, and am thankful for a down day today, to recover. Even so, I expect to be working at the office a few days next week. I won't be taking the knee scooter so it could be a bit rough, but I'm aching to get out of the house again.
