I CAN WALK!

Dec 14, 2006 23:01


Well... kinda....

Saw the doc today, got more xrays.  Everything is healed back up picture perfect.  I can start Physical Therapy next week or the week after.   Also got the arch support today.  Doc said I could begin walking again with no problems.  Said the pace/timing was all up to me.  Said I can transition from the boot to my normal shoes, to nothing at my own pace.

I have been trying to walk whenever possible today.  Damn, its hard to learn to walk again.  Its not soo much that it hurts, as it feels rather uncomfortable.  However, I did manage to walk up the stairs for the first time since september 30th.  no more crawling up them for me.  Feels great.

I did alright walking with the boot today, so I am trying to make the transition to my shoe.  Doc said I could spend 2 days with the transitioning or 2 weeks...   well...  I'm going for 2 days.    The only problem is that the incisions still need more time to heal, so the stitches were not removed.  This isn't too bad, however I do experience some pain from the incisions... So kind of kills the momentum sometimes.

Ah well, I was cleared to walk, and overall I'm enjoying my drunk-10month-old-baby-swaying-walking kinda deal that I got going on.
