So, it counts as walking but it sure ain't pretty. The very attractive lurching is partly because it hurts to step - not every time but enough for me to anticipate it will not be enjoyable - and partly because Boot is taller than my shoe but not tall enough for heels. I know, small world problems. But my world has been pretty dang small for the last two months! Also note my focus on the ground is something akin to a toddler trying to get a piece of fluff off the floor and into its mouth - INTENSE! That's because any variation in the level of the ground I'm walking on will tip me up or back or sideways. The evil squirrels have peppered the driveway with tiny oak bombs guaranteed to do just that. I’m sure they’ve got money on whose nut brings me down. Then, after taking off Boot, Broken Ankle looks like it's gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson in the ring. Or my mom's face after the "chunk" of wood hit her eye. I have purple tree sized cankles with some serious edema. Things Husband finds icky: Feet. Wounds. Scars. Swelling. Wife asking him to touch all three is a sure way to get him to leave the room. I've stopped many a fight this way.
I'm using my powers for good.

Funny, Wendy! Not sure if you can tell but they alternate colors. The things you do when you're bored and broken...

Q.D. - I've had the same nail color for years and years and only because of Broken Ankle have I made the change because I'm looking at the stupid fat suckers all day long!
