There are always plenty of excuses to be lazy. On a serious side, I would miss taking walks if I ever hurt my ankle or leg badly enough to curtail walking. Of course, my road may become too dangerous for walking anyway, but that's another story. I hope you'll at least be in a position to enjoy taking a walk now.
Once I get the staples out, walking should be a lot more comfortable. Actually, when I had the plate put in, I started *hating* to ask people to do things for me. After a while, I wanted to throw away the crutches and just walk normally. This time, I know it won't last that long. Plus, I've figured out how to get around easier so it's not that bad.
