In "Ethics," a huge container falls onto Worf's back, paralyzing him. Worf is devastated by this and even considers committing ritual suicide, but instead decides to try a risky surgical procedure.

The surgery is a success (kind of). Worf survives, and at the end of the episode he's shown struggling to walk, with Alexander supporting him.

In the next episode ("The Outcast"), Worf accompanies Riker onto a planet and has no difficulty whatsoever walking.

Either much time passed between episodes, or Mr. Woof learned to walk a lot faster than the end of "Ethics" seems to suggest that he would.

Is there a canonical answer for the time between these episodes? Or an in-universe explanation for Worf's seamless walking?
