I should mention that even though my surgery isn't until next week, I'm non-weight bearing on that foot now due to the injury. I also have to keep it highly elevated to reduce swelling before the surgery. And I'm allowed ZERO pain killers from now until surgery day.

Thanks, Cassie!

Those crutches look very interesting. I definitely have the UB strength and I expect it to only get better as this goes on. I might have to see if my doc will issue me a pair of those so that I don't have to buy them!

I'm already noticing the weird feeling in my hipflexors. On the leg that I stand on, it starts to ache. On the leg I'm holding up (I hold it behind me, holding it in front of me actually makes the foot hurt for some reason), it gets tight. I'm constantly stretching that leg out behind me while I'm standing still during the day.

Sitting with my leg so high in the air is also doing a number on me already. I ache in all sorts of weird places! Every morning is a new learning experience...where do I hurt today?

I've taken to wearing light, thin sports bras because my regular bras were causing rubbing under my arm pits. But, that area is already toughening up as are my palms.
