Steps

Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floor-or-or
Put one foot in front of the other
And soon you'll be walking out the door!

I've tried for the last few days and failed, but tried again today. I lifted the crutches off the ground and tried to take steps. I won't say I tried to walk, because "walk" would be way too much exaggeration for what I'm attempting.

Today I was able to take steps. Each one was about 3", and I could take maybe 6 of them before I had to get back on the crutches. That's how I'm defining progress right now, that's how I'm defining success right now--six 3" steps. Just another indication of how badly I screwed that knee up.
