10 Days after surgery

I went to the orthopedic doctor today and had x-rays done then had 18 staples removed.  I am now in a hard cast for 2 weeks. 
I am not suppose to put any weight on it and go back to the doctor in 2 weeks.  I feel I am getting stronger and able to maneuver around better with my crutches.  I have a knee scooter at home for the downstairs that comes in handy.  I can also use a steno chair in the kitchen to do the dishes and laundry.
I am sympathetic to people who can't use their legs.  Life can be difficult at times.  Thankfully I am not in any more pain since the surgery last week.  The first few days were a little tense but I feel the toughest part is behind me.
