Today my physical therapist took a chance and gave me crutches to try out, not in the conventional way but left crutch with right foot and vice versa. It went pretty well, I walked 150' on my first try and only really relied on the crutches for stability. After a couple of times I was leaning on them pretty hard and we had to move on to something else but I was told that we wouldn't use the walker anymore. If I do go home next week, I'll feel much more mobile using crutches than a walker and this takes a wheel chair completely out of the picture.
