A notch lower
I am one layer of “risers” lower - I took a lift out of my boot last night after one week post cast - as the doctor instructed. I did it at night so my foot/ankle/calf could get used to the difference without weight since I sleep in my boot. This morning I noticed some stiffness and cramping but took 2 advil when I got to work and have been happily more balanced in my walking (with a walker) and going up the curb, 3 steps, etc to move about my house. I rested and elevated some - but am VERY excited to be a bit lower in the boot! I am going to send the knee scooter back later this week as I feel more secure using the walker and am building more endurance now. I mostly use the walker for balance but with one less lift, even that is better. I am sure I will have more questions soon. But tonight I am enjoying just that bit of freedom.
