My folks wouldn't have approved of me tossing them down either I'm sure the break being in the femur is worse but if you can stand to lift your leg enough while seated to lower yourself a step at a time it'll be safer anyway. Wouldn't want ya to fall down the stairs now!!!

Glad you're in good spirits and be careful with the nerf guns, it's all fun and games till someone shoots their eye out!!
I might give the slide a try when my parent's are home just in case. I didn't think about sliding the crutches along with me.

I am feeling more and more like a child each day because I was told that I really shouldn't go up and down the stairs unless someone is home. And I was told that even though Moira invited me to come visit at the track today, that I should stay home and rest. So much for my independence

Am I healed up yet?!?!?
