Update after 5-6 months
I haven’t posted an update in a few months. I’ve basically been slowly building up the strength in my right foot with PT and doing exercises at home. Currently my status is about 90%. The limp is almost gone and I am nearly able to do a 1 leg calf raise on my right foot as high as the left foot. Thank you for your prayers and support.
These are some of the exercises that I’ve been doing — that have been particularly helpful
- One leg calf raises at home and with the PT
- Fast steps over the floor ladder
- Walking around on my toes - starting out with 1 step at a time - this really helped me transition to get enough strength to really start doing the 1 foot calf raises. Otherwise the 1 foot calf raises were either too hard or too easy when I put my hands on something.
Thanks alot for your support. Best of luck in your recover!
BTW: I had one question for other ATRer’s — What solution did you use to keep your boot (CAM) from getting your home or bed dirty?
