things i can now do on one one leg:
... hop throughout my entire house
... open a door
... bake
... wash dishes
... let complete strangers give me piggy back rides
... take a 15 minute shower
... watch all the episodes of lost, the office, american idol and modern family that i want
... do exercises in a staff meeting
... put a laptop bag, a gym bag and a shoulder bag over my shoulders in a tight, a-line coat
... bend over to pick something up
... carry a full-ish cup of coffee without spilling (sounds easy, but you try it with one leg!)
... lift weights and do weighted squats
... knit
... ride the motorized carts with pride while shopping
... roll out fondant
... get into a car
... start awkward conversations about bunions with people i'd normally not talk with (aka Richard Spotted Bird, the homeless vet i met on the bus)
... go down stairs
... go up stairs
... do laundry
... arrange flowers
... roll over in my sleep with one leg elevated on pillows for hours at a time
i am sure this list will grow! for now, i'm celebrating that i am past the halfway mark of crutch-time! anyone want to challenge me to a one-legged race?
