Heh. No foolin'. Speaking of, this past week I got one of those standup walker thingies, hoping it will help with my remaining leg, which is all messed up: weak as rainwater, can't straighten the knee, all muscle-tone gone, skinny as a rail, etc. Got it all assembled yesterday, but I haven't strapped on the prosthetic one and tried it out yet. Given the mortal terror of falling I now suffer from (a bad fall was what put me in the hospital in the first place), I admit I'm a wee bit nervous about it, frankly.

On the other hand, I DO very much look forward to standing up again, for the first time in a year and a friggin' half. So I got that going for me, at least.
