You are visiting the happiest place on earth, so take the time to notice it. It is also the busiest place on earth, so don’t count how many times you make it on each ride.

Corbin’s “Top 10 Disneyland Must Ride List:”
Swimming is the other great activity for regaining strength in your leg. After a few weeks of stretching, swimming and bike riding, it is now time to recycle those crutches. Best to recycle them to another person who needs them. It has taken a few weeks to eliminate your limp, but now, we are ready to get back to regular business and take that vacation we missed! Next stop, Disneyland!
Bicycling is actually a great way to regain the strength in your leg. It is also one of the easier activities to begin. Because your leg was bent for so long in your cast, the natural bending of your leg while bike riding will help combat the limp you have.
Corbin has a very stiff leg. It will take a lot of stretching for his leg to get back to normal and he is able to begin walking without a limp. He will also need to continue using crutches for a little longer. When a broken leg is cast many Doctors will bend the knee when they set the cast which makes it easier to maneuver with crutches. The down side is, when the cast comes off, it takes a little longer to straighten your leg again. However the down side to having your leg cast straight at the knee is that it would be impossible to use crutches and you would be forced to use a wheelchair only, while recovering. Fortunately Corbin’s cast was bent at the knee, so, let the stretching begin. The best method to help stretch the leg back is by using an empty milk jug filled with water. Hang the milk jug with a bungee cord at the knee for 20 minute intervals a few times a day. Here we are, back on the couch, thank goodness for Netflix…
