The ice-breaker

It's been almost 2 months now since I fractured the fibula, and I'm still not walking. Hobbling along, but not walking. Soon, I was told, very soon. I tried treading on my own but there's a bit of losing nerves on my part. I've not been walking for a bit too long, my muscles have forgotten how to flex..bah!
I noticed, though, the fracture, is a great ice-breaking topic. I think I've been having long conversations with more than 20 strangers since I started having the cast on and maybe another 15 after the cast was taken off. Today alone, I've had great chats with more than 4 cleaners working at the public toilets in the highway rest area. Brilliant!
