who have i become?? i'm obsessed with other places. dreaming of going away has consumed my thoughts, my dreams, and my calendar. so much so that i think i've already hit my vacation day limit on planning out all of 2013's travels. two trips out of country, at least two domestic. i can't contain my excitement!!!
but you don't get to know where til new year's ;)

30 pounds
that's how much weight i am now allowed to put on my right leg.
it's been 6 (and a half) weeks since i broke my leg, and i have now been given permission for partial weight bearing. and full range of motion vertically - no more locking on the brace. however, i thought that would be for a week and then i'd be on my way to walking.
i was wrong.
partial weight - 30 pounds max - is all i can do for the next four weeks. and then after that we can consider starting to walk. i won't even be walking on my birthday (which is at about the end of the four weeks, in case you were thinking of sending me anything...i can wish right?). so for at least the next month i'll still be your resident crip, as they call me at work. it's sad news because i thought i would be up and going much sooner, but staying cheerful knowing i'll still be capable of getting around by december. it's not too much of a setback.
in other news, my wonderful mom is taking a german class! she's prepping for the trip we are planning to take in a year, September 2013. when i came back from europe i wasn't expecting to get to go back to germany so soon, but i am very excited for the opportunity and to be able to share my love for this country with my mom. if you want to skype with us so we can learn/practice our german, let me know!! so proud of her :)
