Well, I drove a bit with my husband last Sunday, he decided I could safely drive and so last Monday & Thursday I drove to and from Physical Therapy. Tuesday & Thursday I drove to the pool and back (and had great swims). I had signed up to take a continuing [...]
I have had 1 more session of PT, last Wednesday, and have been faithfully continuing my home exercise program. At my PT session, the therapist noted that when walking (on 1 or 2 crutches) without the boot, that my right foot still walks as if it were in the boot, that [...]
I had my first PT appointment last Wednesday and my second one today.
On my first visit, the therapist was pleased with my range of motion, incision healing and limited scar tissue. She did some tissue work on my plantar fascia and along the incision, had me work a bit on [...]

I would say it all started in 2001. I fell playing volleyball, and dislocated my right leg at the knee. My foot was pointing 90 degrees to the right. I tore 4 ligaments, 2 tendons & the IT band. There was also damage to 1 meniscus, and an avulsion fracture, where [...]
