My ATR journey

So it’s been a little over a week or so since i’ve had my boot, and today I had my first appointment with my trainer to do some stretching/ROM exercises.  I’ve been working on moving my foot around all week and luckily it paid off, she said my flexibility is great.  It seems like I’ve come a long way even from last week, when I thought I was going to bust into tears just to fit my foot in the boot.  She also said everything was healing pretty nicely, there was just one area she had to put a little antibiotic stuff on.  But other than that, my scar looks a million times better than it did a week ago, and for that I am happy!!

Also, she said that we could start putting some weight on it next week, which will be the 5 week mark from the surgery.  Even if it’s not walking, it’s another step forward which is all I can ask for.

Well, all I can do for now is keep stretching and keep my focus on finishing the semester.  I’m happy to be keeping busy so I can keep my mind off my foot all the time, but then again I hate being so busy because all I want to do is enjoy all this nice weather with my friends before graduation.  24 days!
