Chad,

Thanks for your encouraging words.  I have been told to expect to be 
rigid for 4-6 weeks and my first outpatienr appointment will be after 2 
weeks, so there certainly won't be any flexing until after then.  I will 
probably walk to those assuming I quickly gain confidence outside on my 
crutches but the physio appointmenrs are further away so I will use the 
bus for them.
