boot-free!

another set of x-rays today and the orthopedic doctor says that i don't need to wear the (well-traveled) boot any more! woohoo!

i still feel odd twinges and the foot gets swollen easily... but it is a relief to be able to go out on my own. the doctor says that it will be many more weeks (at least 6-8) before the ankle will feel (almost) normal.

so i took this photograph of musicians performing on the subway platform to celebrate my return to boot-free status.
