And Now for some Good News!

As many of you know I've had a nasty stress fracture in my leg. I went to Disney Late August in a wheel chair. Well yesturday I went in for my 10 week follow up on my leg. I'd been told 5 weeks earlier if they didnt see significant improvement this time I'd be going in for surgery. I proactively requested at that time to be put onto bone stim. Good news is we have improvement! No surgery, and I came off of crutches yesturday! It is still a lot slower than they'd like but it is healing so no need to do a slice and dice. I have 6 more weeks of stim, 2 more weeks in the space boot, and I will start transitioning towards running in a month! YAY!!!!

JustCar we got a real wheel chair I've got photos we put a pink pirate flag on the back Laughing out loud. My man was such a champ made it like an all day ride for me doing fun speed up slow down, twisty turns etc. My daughter was jealous "She's like mommy stop having fun in the wheel chair you're making me jealous its not fair!"

We saw someone going with a backwards wheel chair pushing herself with one leg while her daughter sat down as well. I almost went up to her but there was no flag Sad

The one advantage of this fracture is my swimming has come light years ahead. I'd been wanting to do a half ironman, but swimming has always been my issue in triathlon. Not anymore! I was looking to push back the 2012 half ironman goal to 2013, but I'm starting to consider doing it in october now instead of the June time frame I was looking at. This will all depend on how the half marathon goes in March that I'm penning on the calendar. I'm at 25 days till running I believe Laughing out loud cant wait!
