Well you can't see really well in this picture, but you can kind of see where the crutches rub on my arm and where it is raw. it is about half way up my bicep...there is a matching spot on my ribs...it isn't as bad and I won't be posting a picture.

The Dr. is claiming the reason I can't swim any more is because I told them that it hurt my leg. I have no recollection of that! I did tell my coach that my leg hurt one day but it was because I slipped in the shower and the natural reaction is to put that leg down. so it was sore for a day after that but the doctor says that it was sore from swimming. Anyway he is letting me run in the pool. They have aquajoggers that you strap around your waist and it is kind of like a weight lifting belt made from foam and it holds you up. Then you run. I'm not sure how that differs from kicking, because it feels about the same to me, but if doc is happy whatever! :)

My arms are finally getting used to hauling me around. I made it from Old main to the Fine arts building today without stopping! It took about 13 minutes and is probably a half a mile if not farther! I was pretty proud of that feat...I also carried my laundry up to my room all by myself last night (up 2 flights of stairs). My roommates just roll their eyes when I do stuff like that and am proud of it, but it makes me feel like I'm not totally useless! Pretty soon I will be able to say that I took a step by myself. :)

Have a great week!
