The boot is now off and I’m official walking in two shoes. Went to see the doc this morning, got the ok to ditch the boot. After all this time my doctor finally explained to me why he wanted to wait and take the conservative route. Apparently went he went in to suture my tendon, not much was left and looked really thin. So he wanted me to hold off on things until some scar tissue would develop to help thicken it up. But now I have this huge weight off my foot and start some PT. PT starts Thursday. Happy healing.

Well, today is my birthday and I just wanted to give an update. I am currently walking around in my boot without my knee scooter or crutches. I tell you what, my first step scared the hell out of me. I didn’t know if I could do it or if I would reinjure myself. But luckily nothing went wrong. I’ve been walking for almost 3 days now. Each day has been better than the next. I really haven’t notice any swelling but my ankle is still very weak. I can start doing my stretching exercises. I meet with my doc next week. Hopefully I can do some walking without the boot But I don’t want to try to push things too fast. One step at a time.

I met with my doctor yesterday. He said everything is going great. He told me I can now start putting some weight on my foot with the boot on. I think now I’m PWB. He wants me to be walking without crutches at the lastest, 2 weeks, when he sees me again. I will be in a boot for another month. Tonight I went on a walk, it wasn’t very long but I definitely was a little winded afterward. I gonna try to go for a walk everyday and try to go a little further everyday. In a week I can start doing some exercises with a band the nurse gave me. I’ve been back to work for a week now and taking things slow. Hopefully by next week I’ll be back to working my full schedule. I also got the ok to sleep without my boot, yay!
