I have graduated (or is it 'downsized'?) to an air splint -- yay. You never realize how nice it is to have your foot flex while walking until you're not allowed to. It's amazing how much a calf muscle kept from fully working can atrophy in a month, even when it does bear weight. That I can easily fix. What concerns me more is the loss of flexibility -- I can feel things pulling in the lower leg and (most worrying) in the mass of scar tissue from the ankle surgery 6 years ago. In fact it feels just like the type of pain it took me 1.5 years to get to go away. I hope it's temporary...
