Completely understand!

I once had the extreme displeasure of trying to find a building in Washington D.C. :BangHead:

With traffic, other drivers, unfamiliarity...I finally found the roundabout where I was supposed to be able to see this place from. I went round and round and round this large roundabout for almost a half hour!! Trying to catch a glimpse of this building ...* SOME-FRIGGIN-WHERE * !!!

I finally found it on the northeast "corner". It was 100 ft....straight up a hill! One * could * "SEE" it if they craned their neck almost straight up while driving in D.C.!!!

Here's a tip. One thing that D.C. will ***NEVER*** forgive...is a wrong turn!! Do it and you'll *stay* in D.C......FOREVER!

Went to see the cherry blossoms one year. GPS said turn right for the bridge-there was no frigging bridge, just a bad neighbourhood.
I pulled a quick turn around back up to the main street.
It was so weird the traffic stopped, and this fellow yelled waving his arm out the window of the car "hurry up get into line you're in the wrong area."
Didn't have to tell me twice on that command.
 

Speaking of DC I went there on business many years ago back in the 1970's. I had to deliver some papers to a consulting firm that was doing work for the CPR.

I dropped off the documents and they treated me to lunch....after which I had a few hours to kill before heading back to Montreal.

I figured I'd visit the Smithsonian space museum and asked them directions....they told me how to get there. Let's say it was on 58th Avenue S.E. (just making this up I don't remember the exact street).

I have a horrible sense of direction, in any event they told me whatever you do stay away from 56th Avenue....

Turns out I made a wrong turn along the way and was walking one block over from no man's land....:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:

In any event I went up to a couple setting on a bench at told them I was from Montreal and got lost....they politely gave me directions and I was on my way.

A plaster casting was taken to make a socket with.

Took a roundabout to the same wrong place again....:skullflag:
Guess I won't worry about getting a delivery job. L.o.l..

You are making progress, good! I suspect you will be looking at lots of therapy/learning how to walk with it. I am happy for you and I hope it all goes smoothly. :thumbsup:
