## My Recovery Timeline

## Month 1

Slow recovery due to wrong nail in my leg (too short).

## Month 2

No more stitches and training back home with crutches.

## Month 3

No more crutches, lots of training (mostly walking & bending).

## Month 4

Training, training, training. Up to almost 10k steps in a day.

## Month 5

Bone recovery only on one side of the fracture due to the small nail. Traveling to Cambodia for 3 weeks, one day at 18k steps (and carrying bags, walking in sand, etc...)

## Month 6

Trying to walk normally without limping, started training to gain my muscle back
