This is my second week back on the job.  I’m wearing my boot everyday.    I’m a department manger in a large super-center.  My job entails being on my feet and a lot of walking most of the day.  The first week I found I had a lot of back pain and pain in my left foot from the uneven gait created by the boot.  Seems to be somewhat better this week. Because I’m working 8 to 5,  5 days a week and haven’t had a paycheck in 4 months its good to be back on the job but doesn’t leave me any time let alone money to continue physical therapy.  I did go to therapy for a couple weeks before going back to work and continue to do my leg/foot exercises every day now on my own.  I have even been going home for lunch every day to ice and elevate my foot which  seems to help. Next week I see my surgeon again and hope when I leave his office it will be with 2 shoes for the first time since April.
