Last weekend I started removing heel wedges and transitioning to FWB. I removed 2 wedges and added a Superfeet insole to support my foot more evenly, so that’s probably like removing 1.5 wedges net. Maybe 1.7. Also bought an Even-up for my right foot, and now I find I can limp around semi-normally. Have already experienced the “Norm breakthrough” of forgetting where my crutches are - often in separate rooms. I am surprised how easily I got used to the more neutral foot position - no strain or pain at the injury site at all, and the walking seems to be giving me better ROM when I have the boot off. I find it easier to imagine transitioning to 2 shoes soon, although I now fully appreciate how scary that moment will be. Calf will be thinner than my arm by then, which is saying something.
Progress, yes?
