Free at last!
I went to the ortho yesterday (I was supposed to go 2 weeks ago, but one of my kids came home from school with a fever and my wife was out of town) and got rid of my boot. Wow. I didn’t realize how much of my weight was supported by my boot. I still have no sensation/numbness in the sole of my foot and my heel, and my ortho told me it would be a while (he never did say what a “while” was) before I get the sensation back. Other than that, I am loving life. My ortho said yesterday “looks great, no more boot, come back in 2 months if you need to, otherwise it’s been great.” I don’t have any restrictions on activity other than don’t do anything that hurts. I’ve been riding a stationary bike all summer and am stoked to get back on my brand new road bike I bought a week before I got hurt–I’ve ridden it twice. I am going to hold off on jogging for another month (or six weeks) or so, which means no indoor soccer this year, but I should be good to go for the spring!
