That's right people. That is an authentic, non-Photoshoped picture of me standing on my own 2 feet. It may not come across, but I am actually putting nearly equal weight on my atrophy-shriveled left leg.I was given the go ahead to start putting light weight on my foot when I use my crutches or stand and I was surprised how good it felt. While the wound (which Sarry mysteriously keeps calling "the incision") still looks REALLY funky, if there is minimal twisting or pressure I can actually maneuver without crutches. It only works for very short distances but it's a start. I have also made it my goal to be able to drive Jim to the airport in Simferopol on Monday afternoon so I have to take it smart and easy this weekend. Driving is more controlled and will involve much less pressure than even gentle walking. Stay tuned to see if I can rejoin the ranks of the useful in the next 48 hours.

Glory, glory, hallelujah, Matt keeps marching on...Glad to hear your recuperation is going well. Good luck with the driving and glad to hear Sarah's dentist experience was positive - as one doesn't necessarily associate "Ukrainian dentist" with a positive experience...I suppose it helps he's a known quantity.
