I got the casts off yesterday and my foot is definitely sore. I was surprised since it didn't hurt at all in the cast. It was also swollen my foot was shedding and my legs looked like an ape leg. But other then that it was fine.
I also don't know how to walk without a limp anymore. when I took the boot off I still limped around even though I wasn't in "limping pain." Just second nature I guess. I also found that I couldn't flex my foot. It was stuck in the cast position, so that could also be part of the limp. Two weeks with the walking boot and then that can come off and I can exercise. But she did say I could walk as much as I wanted (with the boot on which is awkward since it is four inches taller then my tallest shoe.)
So I am going to walk anyway - as soon as it stops raining. Which may not happen until 2012 - June 6. Just a prediction.

Are you going to buy platform shoes to equalize them height?
ReplyDeleteJust go SLOW so that it'll continue healing & we can get back into the exercise swing.
New microwave at Tyr Creek & we'll see what the trees look like - rain in SF & rain/snow in GV. What a combo!
