Week 12, two shoes
I graduated out of the boot today at PT, a day short of 12 weeks, and things felt better than I expected. I still don’t have as much dorsiflexion as I would like, but am pacing normally/typically according to my surgeon and my PT.
PT so far has been mostly about ROM, but now that I’m out of the boot I can start phase 2–which is to strengthen the calf muscle, etc.
I am still wearing the boot on uneven surfaces, etc, but have been told to walk/stand a few hours tomorrow and then build up from there. Even the baby steps feel big right now, which is nice!
