Going out has good points and possibly a bit of a downside. It is great to get fresh air and a change of scenery. I get to meet kind people who are very concerned about the contraption on my leg giving me pity looks and asking what have I done. Then I have the children staring and the parents trying very hard not to be embarrass and avoiding me. However I have had a stranger asking about the fixator and actually lifting my skirt so they could see it properly! Totally inappropriate! Get out of my space! It's a bit like when I was pregnant with my twins and people think it exceptable to touch your tummy. You just have to laugh.
This is a life changing experience and has really open my eyes on disability.
