Out of the boot and into the world
Today is my first day in a over a month not wearing the boot on my left foot. I went out for an errand this morning without it and it felt good. No pain. But I know I've got to get used to actually walking on the foot. Plus I'm hoping my left hip will quickly get used to the idea that both legs are now even (I never could find a right shoe whose height matched the boot's. The top of my foot still hurts a bit, but nothing too bad. (the surgeon goes in through the top). When I stretch my foot and toes I get occasional weird twinges that I hope will go away. The lower parts of my second and third toes are numb-that might be permanent. I've no idea. But if it is, that's a small price to pay for no foot pain.
Tomorrow I go to Readercon. I may bring the boot with me, just in case. (also I may feel less nervous about the status of the toe/foot mixing with large groups of people)
