Shaking the cane

9:20am

Taylor has been working out 3 times a week at the gym and had planned to get rid of the cane by Christmas. He and his cousin Emily Simmons have a little contest going on and it looks like Taylor may win. Sorry Emily! He's a little ahead of his target date. Yesterday was his 2nd full day when he left the cane at home.

We thought that may a little too daring and that he should at least keep it in his car, but he decided to go Cold Turkey. He's done really well. He said he felt confident without it, and didn't feel the need for it while he was out with friends.

Taylor still has a little swelling from his surgery, and there are still some visible lines from where the stitches were, but that's clearing up. Once he was able to get out of the house, he rode around to see all his friends so he could show off his new look. He didn't say anything, and didn't have to, but it's obvious that he really likes how it turned out. So do we.
