Moving along w/PT
Well, went to my PT appt. on Friday and asked them if I could advance from towell scrunching and marble picking, rocker, pro-step, and wedge work…..Come on people!!!! have been doing all that at home, twice a day, for the past 2 and a half months, plus biking, and band and towell stretching. Yeah, it worked (all my whining); they let me on the total gym and tomorrow I get to add the stair-stepper!! My PT did say, “be careful what you wish for”…and I asked her, “are you going to be mean to me?” She is the therapist that kills my ankle when she stretches it…..I think she has some agression issues:) Well, at least I get to skip the towell and marbles when I go to PT….still do them at home though as warm-up.
Using my Silipos achilles heel sleeve, to help the sore area of my incision withstand the pressure of the one pair of shoes that work for me–have been wearing them everyday for the past 2 months. So, progress is slow, but is happening. Still on one crutch, limping and slow….yesterday I took my daughter, who lives on her own, can’t drive, (because of disabilities) to adopt a cat at Pet Smart….what an adventure. I am not used to standing/walking around on one crutch for 2 hours shopping and adopting….I was pooped, but we found her the perfect cat…..so was a good day 
Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend!
