"Sort of" ? Sounds like a reasonable way to put things - it's what I say when people ask me how I'm doing.

Physical therapist says I'm permanently injured - that my spine twisted a bit when I fell in May and broke two bones, that I will be in pain for the rest of my life. Sobering. I can still swim, thank heavens, but am supposed to limit my walking (which I probably will refuse to do) and not sit for more than 15 minutes at a time (yeah, right - not gonna happen). Whatever. We live with things, right? Not the end of life - there are much worse things in this world.

That's what my "sort of" means !

What's your "sort of" mean?
