Although wearing the leg/knee brace does make it easier to get around, sort of, the muscles in the leg get weak, as the brace is doing all the work.
Today, I went for short sortie into the local mall, using just my cane. I meandered in one of the stores, picking up a few things, for about 20 minutes. I will admit, I was ready to collapse into a chair when we got back. Left leg isn't too sore, but feels very weak.
Oh yeah, I get to do it again tomorrow! Might end up using the cuff crutches, as tomorrow's usual routine include more than a hour worth of walking.
Rest of my left side still stiff and sore from the fall I took a few days ago.
