Goodbye brace.

Torture device

No outfit pictures next week because I gave up on the brace. I just couldn't take it anymore, and I took it off four days early. Forgive me!

Part of the reason was plain old intense discomfort (the metal brace is heavy, hot, and presses on your lungs and stomach). The rest of the reason is that I bought a cute new skirt and wanted to wear it. You know, important reasons.
Other than that, I'm weaning off crutches now. I went to one crutch on Thursday, and I've been gradually spending time full-weight bearing. The second day on one crutch, for example, I went too and from the car and up and down stairs without crutches; the third day I also set them aside while cooking. I'll be off them totally by Thursday!
