Vitamin D Therapy
I hung out in the yard today!
This may seem like a small thing, but it was major for me. I hate using crutches in general, but especially on stairs. I'm always afraid of falling. Not to mention, Patrick is usually around to ground me if I start getting unstable. I typically have pretty low activity when he's at work.

I'm glad my desire to get outside over-weighed my fears. I always feel better in the sun. I needed some vitamin D!
I have about a month left of being non-weight bearing and it's probably going to be the hardest. I'll be missing out on lake trips, kayaking, swimming, concerts and many other summer activities. It's hard watching people do the activities that I want to do and can't. Some of it is completely irrational. I even find my self jealous of people running on the streets. I hate running, but I've said a couple times now that I'm going to be a runner when this is all over... just because I can.
Being able to just get outside and read is still a win though. I need to remember my wins and that this is all temporary.
Don't be surprised when I come out of my boot running (limping) for joy.
Side Note: This week I started The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I'm about halfway through and am really enjoying it so far. I love the narrator's voice. The book is relevant and I can't wait to read more!
