Weekend,
Despite a very busy weekend managed to get into the Gym Saturday, did a kettle ball workout which must have looked strange in an air cast LOL. Did ride the recumbent bike for 5 minutes with my cast on, could feel a bit of a stretch, typically I aim for 72RPM but only managed and easy 50 - 55 RPM. I got the air cast last Wed. I could not walk in the air cast at all, but by the time thursday noon came around my foot had flattened and I was in the right position to hobble a bit, but Thursday night I was moving quite well, but was very tired by end of day.
Today Monday I feel great, I am walking in the air cast no problem what so ever, my energy levels are returning and the fact that I was able to walk slowly and flatfooted without the cast on has enthused me. The Air cast will remain on for the duration, but it is nice I can at least now get from the bed to my dresser and closet without having to try to balance, clothes, and crutches. Getting into the shower remains a challenge but I figure another week or so and even that will be come quite easy.
I can’t imagine what it would be like if I had to have surgery. I finally get to see the Ortho on Wed. Living way up north were we fly one in every other week, is a pain, I think he will be happy with my progress. I still maintain that I will be running at least once before the official end of summer. Maybe be only a run/walk like a beginner, but I am determined. Meanwhile I have been reading up on Bicycles so I can purchase one maybe next weekend.
Cheers Harry

Sounds good. Sounds like an early stretch to maybe neutral position (and sounds aggressive to me), but if you’re now comfortable walking that way, I think you’ve survived it!
Good Luck and Good Healing!
Nice post. I just desired to position out that this is among the best offers around the net. Incredibly good.
