these days, i'm coming closer and closer to being able to walk again.  it's so weird to think that it's already been over 3 months since i last walked... but yet i've managed to live a pretty normal life, even without walking.  i still manage to vacuum, to cook, to swiffer, to do laundry, etc.  even when i do walk again, it's not going to be me tearing through philadelphia on my usual explorations, mind you, it's going to be a few steps at a time; a hallway, a block, 2 blocks, then maybe even the stairs....  but i shouldn't get too ahead of myself. 
the prospect of me walking has me.... burning with a desire to do all these crazy things...seeing people jogging in the city has me both envious, and stupidly angry at random strangers, just because they can run and i can't.  and it's frustrating to know that it will be months or maybe even years before i can do them again.   this morning, i gingerly took 3 steps (without my crutches) from my bed to my desk.  i was SO HAPPY that i wanted to cry.  but again, i shouldn't get ahead of myself.  it was only 3 small, halting steps, and it was quite painful.
