Driving
Posted on December 24th, 2017 by bamf
So my parents were having the family over Dec 23 for dinner. Everyone came from out of town…except for me because I can’t drive. So I said, “what the heck” and got in the SUV and drove 1 hour to their house. I took off my boot and put on one of my Crock shoes. I had no issues. I have been doing plenty of PT and I had no issues whatsoever. It was a little weird going over rough road at high speed…my heel experienced a little vibration. But no problem! On the way home I wore the boot…and it was even easier!
My wife, who is in the medical field, had a field day telling me about what would happen if I wrecked without being medically released. So this is a personal risk decision.

I should probably note that I did at home PT exercises for several weeks before I started driving. I had no strength or pain issues braking. My boot was small enough to allow me to hit the gas without interfering with the brake. I have an automatic. I could not drive if I had a manual.
