i had a follow up appointment today for my ankle. i remember the last time i saw him, he said i didn't need crutches anymore and gave me an ankle brace. he said i'd be on that for 4-6 weeks. follow up appointment 3 weeks later and he says i don't need that anymore but i have to get lifts for shoes. if i were a woman, this wouldn't be a problem, just wear high heels. since i'm a guy, i'm not going to do that. :p i do need to walk in shoes that are not flat though. are lifts something they add to the shoe or are they an insert that i can put into multiple shoes? guess i'll have to find out. so anyways, the doc also said 6-7 months of healing before the tendon is strong enough again for "normal activities". so this means i'll be bored all summer, but i'll be ready just in time for ski season. :) unless he's giving a conservative estimate like he did with the ankle brace and it's really only 5 months instead of 6... hmm....
