When I awoke this morning, I had no idea where to start. I had to hop from my bed to the top of the stairs--not before collecting everything I'd need for the day in my bedroom and on the second floor--and slowly descend them sans crutches. There's no reason for my crutches to be upstairs. After doing a lot of hopping around downstairs, I was ready to leave for work. Driving was not a problem. Getting into my building was not a problem.
Having one foot is tough. I'm not going to lie. BUT, given the amount of time my body will be limited to the use of one foot, I must embrace this reality and treat it as a challenge. After surgery, I resumed my normal diet, which, by many standards, isn't normal at all. It's the vegan diet. Well, the pseudo-vegan diet. I can't be sure that every piece of bread I eat doesn't contain egg, for example. I believe that this diet and a lot of H2O will accelerate healing time. I'm trying to set an all time record for the fastest healing spring ligament tear.
How well the human body's systems perform can be boiled down to nutrition. A whole-foods, plant-based diet is the optimal diet, and this is true no matter the circumstances. It's no secret. Just read "The China Study."
Anyway...
At this point, I'm more worried about coffee being on my desk first thing in the morning than my foot healing.
