High Stepping

For about two weeks before I was given the green light to graduate from my crutches to a cane, I had dreams that I was walking unassisted. Now after three weeks (today is my Nineweekanniversary) of using the cane, I find myself leaving it behind - upon leaving the house in the morning, leaving the office at the end of the day, at restaurants. I have to make a conscious effort to remember it or else I'm likely to leave it behind. I think I'm ready to 86 it.

Today I wore my heels around the office. Once my body (and feet) got over the initial shock, it was fine. I even went out for lunch with a friend wearing them. They slow me down a bit more than my chefs' clogs but they're good for my psyche.
