Nice weekend at Kelly’s Island
Well, I’ll be at 9 weeks tomorrow. My husband and I went to Kelly’s Island on Lake Erie for the weekend. I was a little hesitant, but everything worked out great. We took the car over on the ferry, so I wouldn’t have to walk as much. I kept my boot on for most of the time, but actually ventured out in 2 shoes for a little while. Felt great, bit so scary!! I never took my eyes off the ground - so worried about uneven ground, gravel, a stick… - you all know the feeling. My Doctor is ordering some kind of brace that I can wear in my shoe to keep my foot from flexing too far. Ii is supposed to help prevent re-rupture. Sounds good to me! I have to call the place tomorrow and make an appointment to get fitted.
We had a great weekend. Plenty of sunshine! It felt so good to get out and feel almost normal 
I did walk a lot, but other than heel pain and some swelling, my foot fared pretty well.

I know exac tly what you mean. Walking with a friend today which was great but can’t easily walk and talk at the same time! I have noticed I can’t ‘push off” very easily but it will come. Glad you are out doing some ‘normal’ things again.
