The hardest part was getting the sink/cabinet in its box from the garage into the house while still on crutches. To think this all started with trying to unclog the drain on the old sink. When I disconnected the p-trap, the metal pipe from the bottom of the drain to the plastic p-trap came with. Someone tried to use some sort of glue rather than thread the pieces to together. Thinking I'd need a new drain, I took that all apart, only to find the threads were still okay. But, once back together it was leaking at the bottom of the sink, from the old, hard rubber gasket. I tried getting that just a little bit tighter and, crack! I broke the sink basin. It was somewhat okay, as we were looking for an excuse to replace that tiny sink and ugly, hard to clean brass faucet.
Oh yeah, I'm off crutches as of this week. There's still some swelling, and the muscles and tendons are all stiff and weak. So, it's still going to be a while before I can get back to a normal routine. The diagnosis was "stress response" which is the internal weakening of a bone. If this continues it becomes a stress fracture. It might have had something to do with 5-8 miles a day of walking in shoes I guess not made for that.
