I am going shoe shopping!
Last week I saw my surgeon. She checked my tendon, checked over my notes and asked if I had cheated yet and attempted to walk without my boot. She seemed very surprised when I told her that no, I had not even taken a tiny step . she then told me to stand up and walk across the room barefoot. I like her , but she is not the warm and fuzzy type, so across the room I limped. it did not hurt or feel weak so I am sure I was overdue to do this. My next instructions were to walk barefoot around the house and wear the boot if going out and if the leg gets tired at home. She then proceeded to tell me of the type of shoes I need to wear. Yikes my footwear consists mainly of very high sandals or flip flops. The running shoes I do have I have worn the left one only for the last 2 months and it no longer looks like it’s twin. I have never been this
excited to go shoe shopping in my life! And believe me I am a shoe
girl!
it has been so great just walking around the house barefoot and feeling the smooth tile floor under my toes.I am not to do any running, skipping, hopping, jumping etc for 3 months which seems very conservative . mind you it may take me that long to get rid of this pesky limp. I am super happy about the progress my leg has made and the miracle of healing. blessings to all
