So I went to the Doc today for my appointment and got X-ray set number 4.
I am refusing to chop the beard until I can walk... or until it bugs me beyond belief (which it is doing)
This is the video of the doc giving me the news and the rest of my day
I did get a cheap membership to another gym in town to use the in-pool treadmill. Hopefully I will have it to myself like I did today (I ripped this pic off their website)
All in all a pretty good day, should be walking in 2 weeks or so (if I am lucky)
