Walked for the first time...

[XTC]

Walked for the first time in 2 months today without my crutches..... Sure it was in a swimming pool but it was a start. 2 or 3 weeks more I should be hobbling around without the aid of water..... God that pool was nice today :) I'm so happy..... Does it show? :banana: Off to physio now.....

Well done mate. A positive mental attitude will see you back on two feet in no time.

Well done Andy. I know what you are going through. I'm recovering aswell after a "big one" on my zx9r more than 7 months ago. I was in Christchurch hospital for 3 months with back,pelvis,legs etc etc injuries.
I''ve only recently managed to walk OK without crutches, but still use one if I have to go a fair distance.

Hang in there. It may seem like you are not making progress at times, but slowly you'll get there.

Off to physio now.....
Uh-oh... now you're :buggerd:

Still, once you get better, AND recover from the physio, you'll be dancing in no time.:wari: :banana:

Hope they're keeping the morphine tapped in!

Going to physio for a few months for my hand seemed like a giant PITA but you read threads like this and it all gets put in perspective.
