30 days have passed since I broke my ankle. The doctor told me the fracture would heal in three months. Last week he advised me not to walk if possible. It was impossible for me -- I did go out today.
I live in one-bedroom apartment which has only six mats, tatami. I have been here in this room all these 30 days. As the pain was getting eased day by day, I thought it would be all right to walk to the supermarket. It took me four times as long as usual. What took me so long? I couldn't manage my leg at all. I was limping. I walked slowly and with difficulty, leaning on a stick.
I always walk with a pedometer on. The pedometer showed that I walked 2000 steps today. I was completely exhausted by those 2000 steps. I should not have walked to the supermarket. I wonder if the day will come when I can enjoy climbing mountains. The doctor was right. Two more months are really necessary for me to get well. I must become a better patient,
